From silver screen to streaming: Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen triumphs

Published April 15, 2024 12:38pm ET



Amid sprawling countryside estates, luxurious Patek Philippe watches, and wine cellars stocked with rare Romanée-Conti vintages lies the setting of Guy Ritchie’s latest endeavor, The Gentlemen.

This Netflix series, a spinoff from the 2019 film, delves into the hidden underbelly of England’s aristocratic estates. Here, vast marijuana operations are discreetly woven into the fabric of blue-blooded legacies, with growing facilities cleverly masked by acres of land comprising the lavish dukedoms. Watching the original film isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying the series, but if you’re a fan of Ritchie’s style, it’s well worth your time.
