The Gentlemen (TV series) Beginner Guide
The Gentlemen is a British crime comedy-drama created by Guy Ritchie for Netflix. It follows aristocrat Eddie Horniman after he unexpectedly inherits his family's estate and discovers that part of the property is tied to a large cannabis operation controlled by an organized crime network.
Understand the Premise
Edward "Eddie" Horniman inherits the title and estate of the Duke of Halstead after his father's death. He soon discovers that the estate is hosting an underground cannabis business that his family had allowed to operate for years.
Meet Eddie Horniman
Theo James plays Eddie Horniman, a disciplined former Army officer who becomes the new Duke of Halstead. Much of the story follows his attempt to protect his family while navigating a criminal world he never expected to inherit.
Meet Susie Glass
Kaya Scodelario plays Susie Glass, the highly capable operator responsible for managing the cannabis empire created by her father, Bobby Glass. She becomes Eddie's main connection to the criminal organization beneath his estate.
Know the Horniman Family
Freddy Horniman, played by Daniel Ings, is Eddie's volatile older brother whose debts and impulsive decisions create major problems. Lady Sabrina Horniman, played by Joely Richardson, is Eddie and Freddy's mother and the family matriarch.
Understand the Two Worlds
The series constantly contrasts British aristocratic life with organized crime. Country estates, inherited titles and upper-class traditions sit alongside drug operations, gang negotiations and violent disputes.
Expect Guy Ritchie's Style
The show combines crime, dark comedy, fast dialogue, eccentric criminals, sudden violence and elaborate schemes. Its tone is playful and stylish even when characters are dealing with dangerous situations.
You Can Start With the Series
You do not need to watch Guy Ritchie's 2019 film The Gentlemen before starting the Netflix series. The television story introduces a new central cast and works as a standalone entry.
Watch in Episode Order
The first season is a continuing serialized story, so episodes should be watched in their released order rather than individually. Character relationships, negotiations and criminal conflicts build directly from one episode to the next.
The Gentlemen (TV series): Movie vs TV Series
Guy Ritchie's Netflix series expands the basic criminal-aristocracy concept associated with his 2019 film rather than continuing the movie's plot. Both feature wealthy British circles colliding with a sophisticated cannabis empire, but the television series centers on Eddie Horniman, Susie Glass and the Halstead estate.
