Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
For all its slickness and charm, "The Gentlemen" never quite justifies its existence as an expanded vision of Ritchie's world. It's a story that feels stretched instead of grown, scraped out across too many hours to give audiences an experience that is, at best, watchable, and at worst, frustrating.

Season 1 Review:
The Ritchie flourishes are irritating – especially on-screen text cutely translating the drugs speak, so when a character offers “£4m sweetened with a bar’s worth of White Widow super cheese”, up pops the explainer that this refers to a million pounds’ worth of “rocket-fuelled marijuana”. But if you can get past this, The Gentleman is a fun caper.

Season 1 Review:
The story behind “The Gentlemen” might be more interesting than the show, with director Guy Ritchie rebooting his 2020 movie as an eight-episode Netflix series. Yet despite the dashing presence of Theo James as the unexpected heir to a cannabis empire, the net result blows by briskly enough but yields relatively few highs.

Season 1 Review:
Sure, there’s effort and style in the new-and-unimproved “Gentlemen,” but it’s still a copy of a copy of a copy: Ritchie imitated himself in the movie, and now he’s recreating that imitation. While distracting enough, there’s less tension here than concession; less inner battle than business opportunity.

Season 1 Review:
The plot is more comprehensible, there’s less casual racism and antisemitism in the script, and Scodelario gets the heaps of screen time she deserves in a variation on Dockery’s underwritten role. But midway through season, Ritchie’s signature affectations get tiresome, and the format predictable.
