- 💥 Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen series dropped onto Netflix a few days ago, and I was wondering - is it worth checking out?
🎥 As always, my main focus is on character and story, and also as a fan of Ritchie's past work. Here's a spoiler-free look of what I think works and what doesn't about the first episode!

re Eddie as reactive bystander vs the one in charge:
In the film, the scene where Michael Pearson orders Raymond Smith to bring Laura Pressfield home (47min mark) is, in my opinion, one of the most symbolic of the story.
Smith is so cool, calm, collected; Steps ahead of most, including Fletcher, he's the consiglieri of the genius, deadly gangster Pearson. And he starts to get this eye twtch when asked to get Pressfield out of the heroine den.
As Pearson says to Lord George (109min), "...my jam, it doesn't kill anyone, and I like that. While your poison is and always has been a destroyer of worlds."
For Eddie, a Captain in the Army on a peacekeeping mission on the border of Turkey and Syria (volatile), staying cool, calm, collected is what makes him good at his job.
Being essentially ordered to deal with cocaine, marijuana, illegal gambling, his selfish brother who's told to "try missing in front this time" during skeet shooting (which I take to subtly mean 'try failing as a leader this time'), and the underworld bigwigs, I think maybe Eddie's learning how to become a leader in this new "peace keeping capacity", while also trying to get his particular eye-twitch temper / reactive bystander under control - train his inner dog, as Susie Glass would say.
I think this series is off to a good start and am looking forward to future reviews!
There is reviewing and reworking, the latter part of this review was the latter.
Not trying to rework anything. Just pointing out things that didn't quite work for me and giving reasons why. But thanks for taking the time to comment!
What a negative review as if you already had an agenda prior to viewing maybe you just dont understand the London Crime scene
Not sure how you came to that conclusion. No agenda and not a negative review in any way. Did you watch the entire video?
