The comedy-crime caper follows an aristocrat who finds an illegal drug operation on his estate.

In the 2019 action-comedy film The Gentlemen, director Guy Ritchie created a world of shady drug overlords who grow cannabis in sprawling estates of aristocratic landlords who need cash to maintain and upkeep their beautiful homes.

He tries to extract himself from the shady dealings, but finds himself getting pulled further into the spiral of crime and forms an unlikely alliance with Bobby’s daughter Susie .The chemistry between James and Scodelario makes the complicated relationship of Edward and Susie the highlight of the series.

Yet, as outside forces conspire against them, the two often find themselves on the same team. Over time spent tackling sinister crime lords and sorting out the trouble Edward’s elder brother often causes, the two develop a sincere respect for each other.2. Stylish and comedic action Yet, the humour does not tamper the bombastic action sequences. They are stylish and thrilling, even when there are absurd elements to it, such as a grenade blowing up a stash of Hitler’s paintings.The series has a clear overarching story, but almost every episode is formulaic. Edward and Susie embark on an adventure to solve a problem that crops up in their business.
