What to watch this weekend: ‘The Gentlemen’ season two is a Guy Ritchie masterpiece
'The Gentlemen' season 2 brings back more crime, aristocrats, dark humour and brilliant Guy Ritchie chaos. This is why it's unmissable.
For fans of creators who demand to be consumed and digested, like Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton, Guy Ritchie's 'The Gentlemen' season two is a must-watch. This Netflix series is a Ritchie-penned masterpiece, with no moments of relief or plot simplicity. Season two picks up a year after Eddie Horniman (Theo James), the Duke of Halstead, inherits his family's cannabis empire.
Eddie, now no longer wanting to leave the criminal business, joins forces with his partner Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) to expand their operation internationally, leading to a thrilling mix of mobsters, aristocrats, and questionable characters. Eddie discovers that being a duke offers advantages, including using his political influence to push for marijuana decriminalisation through the House of Lords.
Susie's father, Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone), a wealthy man profiting from the illegal weed trade, becomes a significant obstacle. Eddie's complicated love life, including his marriage to a Countess named Benedetta Porcaroli (Benedetta Porcaroli), adds depth and humour to the story. With exceptional pacing, colourisation, and an impeccable soundtrack, 'The Gentlemen' season two is a five-star watch that should not be missed.
