Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Gentlemen (2024).
Matthew McConaughey’s The Gentlemen, directed/co-written by Guy Ritchie, and one of my favourite films of 2019 has a promising new continuation in the shape of a Netflix series.
Theo James stars as Eddie Halstead, a man who inherits a large estate from his father while unaware that it fronts McConaughey’s character, Michael Pearson’s drug empire. With zero crime experience, Eddie must now take over the operation or lose the entire estate.
I’m already working on leaving my expectations behind when it comes to how much I anticipate that I’ll love this compared to McConaughey’s film, which I fully enjoyed.
I’m watching for the nostalgia, hoping for the best and rather curious about how James’s Eddie is going to take to the world of crime.
With Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn (2023) and now this, I guess I’m currently in a season of watching films/series about different versions of the British aristocrat.
Have you seen McConaughey’s The Gentlemen? Will you be watching this iteration, especially with the knowledge that Guy Ritchie wrote and directed at least one episode?
Kaya Scodelario, Ray Winstone, Christian Di Sciullo, Daniel Ings, Shane Walker, Joely Richardson and Vinnie Jones also star

Just reliving a quote from the trailer for McConaughey’s film. This should be fun. 🥂
YEAH! 😁🥂 Love it!
Guy Ritchie productions are always fun. I thought the movie was entertaining too!
Amen! Thank you Ritchie for all the fun. 🤓💐🥂
Yes, I saw The Gentlemen and very much enjoyed it. Definitely will be giving the series a try 🙂
Excellent! I fact, I may just treat myself again to The Gentleman (2019) before seeing this one.
Oh yes, I remember all of those handsome gentlemen and wouldn’t mind looking at them in action again 🙂
Amen! 😊🥂
this sounds like one that I’d love!
Let’s have our fingers crossed. It’s Guy Ritchie, which means we can stay hopeful. 🤞😊🙏
I haven’t seen The Gentleman, is Hugh Grant in it?
In that case, you’re in for a treat! 🤓 And yes, Hugh Grant is in it.
ok, I know the film you mean!
Enjoy! 🥳
I want to learn a bit more about this one before committing, but it looks and sounds promising.
I say, don’t learn too much, just rewatch The Gentlemen (2019). 🤓
Sounds like a plan!
Excellent! 🤓🥂
I love the cast, looks like a typical Guy Ritchie flick with lots of blood, I’ll put it on the watch list!
Excellent Plan! Long may he continue to deliver. 🥂🙏
