AnimeMania February 22 Share February 22 The Gentlemen is an 8 episode TV Series streaming on March 7, 2024 on Netflix, based on the 2019 Guy Ritchie film of the same name, following American expat Mickey Pearson (Matthew McConaughey), who built a highly profitable London marijuana empire by hiding the plants on the estates of cash-strapped members of the British aristocracy. The TV Series follows a similar theme, but focuses on the British aristocracy. Theo James as Eddie Horniman, an English aristocrat and a Captain in the British Army, who is the second son of the Duke of Halstead and as such never expected to inherit anything when his father died, but unexpectedly inherits his father’s 15,000 acre country estate. This estate also contains the largest weed farm in Europe. How will Eddie adapt to his new criminal responsibilities. Daniel Ings as Freddy Horniman, Eddie’s older bother, who knew he was the heir to a large estate and spent his life at a stream of parties, taking drugs and financing failed businesses ventures. Freddy owes some dangerous people a lot of money. Freddy never got the knack for making money legally, but this new criminal enterprise might just be his calling. Jasmine Blackborow as Charly Horniman Chanel Cresswell as Tammy Horniman Joely Richardson as Lady Sabrina, the Dowager Duchess of Halstead, Eddie and Freddy’s mother. With the appearance of being upstanding and honest, and exuding a chilly maternal gentility, she is hiding a salacious past, and a caustic sense of humor. The smartest person in the room, this mother has concerns as Eddie navigates the peculiarities of the criminal world. Vinnie Jones as Geoff Seacombe, the groundskeeper of Halstead Manor. Stoic, stolid and unswervingly loyal to the Hornimans, Geoff takes a certain pride in knowing his exact place within society's structure and is ever respectful of the line between family and staff. Giancarlo Esposito as Stanley "Uncle Stan" Johnston, An extravagantly wealthy American dealer and distributor of methamphetamines, who is obsessed with the history, iconography, and architecture of the British aristocracy. Which might explain his fascination with Eddie, the newest Duke of Halstead. Uncle Stan mostly resides in the most exclusive gentlemen's club in London with his manservant. Kaya Scodelario as Susie Glass, she oversees her father's Bobby Glass' criminal organization on his behalf. Effortlessly stylish, she can fit into any situation. Eddie Horniman is causing problems that even Susie's sophistication and sophistry can't untangle. Ray Winstone as Bobby Glass, a career criminal from the East End of London who founded an industrial cannabis empire Max Beesley as Henry Collins Harry Goodwins as Jack Ruby Sear as Gabrielle Michael Vu as Jimmy Chang Pearce Quigley as Gospel John Peter Serafinowicz Alexis Rodney 1 Link to comment

Smokeyblow April 1 Share April 1 How are more people not watching this? Sat down Saturday night to give the first episode a tryout & ended up watching every other episode on Sunday without stopping. Absolutely Guy Ritchie at his best with all of his usual caricatures of English gangsters, travelers & misfits. Fantastic fun. 2 Link to comment

It took me a bit to get into it, and realize Freddy's an idiot, just roll with it. I've been talking it up at work, several of the men I work with had watched it. Friend lent me the dvd of the movie, and it's great too. Same world, same plot to a point, amazing cast. Hugh Grant, Matthew McConaughey, Michelle Dockery, Colin Farrell (I think he was my favorite) and Jeremy Strong, Charlie Hunnam. Check out the movie then watch the series. Or vice versa.

Yeah, I saw the movie some years ago (I think right after it came out because I'm a big Guy Ritchie fan) and thought it was too short! So I was really glad to see this version as well. I do recommend them both though the movie cast is hard to beat. 1 Link to comment

But the series and esp the movie have set me straight. I like how both had the same characters in one way or another, for the most part, except for McConaughey being replaced by Theo James as the character trying to get out from under the business. Agree the movie cast is fantastic. In the series, Vinnie Jones and Joely Richardson's relationship is amazing, and his interaction with the daughter when she comes home was so touching.

Well now you will have the pleasure of watching "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" which is the Guy Ritchie movie that sort of defines this whole genre. It is remarkably good - some would say even better than anything he has done since...there is a good sequel too. 2 Link to comment

Of course there isn't as much time for character development in a 2-hour film vs. an 8-episode series, but I definitely liked the tv series more. Link to comment

I would agree with you as far as "The Gentlemen" the movie vs. the tv series goes. On the other hand, "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" has it all, as far as I am concerned...give it a try! 1 Link to comment
