Wife and I just binged this and we loved it. Very fun show. The cast was great. The brother was hilarious and James should be the next Bond. Bring on more seasons.
We just finished this today. Very good series. We have also concluded that Theo James would be an excellent Bond.

Only problem is that you can either have more of The Gentlemen or James as Bond, but likely not both. That's how we got Timothy Dalton as Bond instead of Pierce Brosnan for two movies.

Everybody earlier in the thread was lauding Freddy and saying he was a goat character.
He’s a selfish a-hole and didn’t stop doing selfish a-hole things the whole series.

Kills me the only nudity in the whole series was the old guy's flopping weiner.

We really loved this series. Hope we get a season two. It had the perfect episodic format... advancing the overarching plot but each episode having a satisfying conclusion.

I got two episodes left. Great series.
Also they did a good job of turning what is probably a good looking women into a smoke show most episodes. In Ms. Glass.

Agreed. She's a very attractive character. A good example of well written female lead.

I cant argue with this but the show would not have been nearly as good without his character arc and I thought the actor that played him did a great job.

it was 4 episodes in and looking up things on wikipedia before i realized she was in Maze Runner, PotC5, and Crawl. Before that i would have only been able to tell you that The Maze Runner chick is in PotC5
I know it's the same person but she looks so different in each role.

Did anyone else notice that they revealed more and more of her body as the series progressed. Love a hot English chick. Average American looks with an English accent is above average.

He was a very rich drug addict. He did very rich drug addict stuff the entire season. And it was done in a funny way. That's why his character was great.

Fiance’ hated the ending. Her gripe was that the whole point of everything the Duke did was to get out of the business then all of a sudden in the last episode he decides he wants to take it over? I guess she has a point.
She was right. His motivations changed completely in the last episode. Also the finale depended upon a bunch of people acting, outside of their normal, without all the information when they could have made a simple phone call. Are to we to believe the Scouse gangsters just left right after they found out who killed their brother and they just say forget it. Also, there is no way the staff of 20+ people are just ok with hiding in the cellar while there is a siege of the house going on?
Also, why does Jimmy still have a job? He let a shipment get hijacked (why was the grower even driving the van? They don't have some one else for that?) and gave away the address of the boss.
I enjoyed the series and would definitely watch a second season. I just don't think it was perfect television. I found that I enjoyed it more by watching one episode a night. If I watched 2 episodes I started to getting annoyed with the underlying plot and some characters .

Including Madonna?
Today I would pass but back when he was doing her? Still more of a "sure" than an enthusiastic "hell yeah" but I expect she had some skills.

I've seen this a lot and don't completely agree. You have the son of a Duke that instead of living the high life joins the military. I think this shows he is looking for something more than the life of aristocracy.
While the situations he finds himself in are terrifying, he handles everything well. Over time he finds that he enjoys the "game" and continues to go down that path and everything associated with it. Similar to Breaking Bad with Walter White going from a good guy that just wants to take care of his family to a full blown criminal mastermind 180 degrees from where he started.
Not saying both shows handle it to the same level. Breaking Bad is a GOAT for me and fleshed that transformation out over multiple seasons in an extremely dramatic show. The Gentlemen is a lot more flair and very slick pizazz with comedy offsetting most of the more intense moments. It's quite simply standard Guy Ritchie stuff. The main character is going to go through some shite, it's going to be slick and fun, and the good guys are going to come out on top more or less regardless of how impossible it would really be. This plays out over 10 hours of episodes instead of a two hour movie but it's still basic Guy Ritchie. If you like his stuff (and I love pretty much all of it) then you'll probably really like the show and the tone.

Ditto. My wife said she wanted to watch something intense and I mentioned Wrath of Man. She said she hated Jason Statham’s voice and I said she was in luck because he’s especially quiet in this movie.
Even though I don’t think there’s anything to laugh at the entire movie, it’s completely a Ritchie film, through and through.
She also said she couldn’t fall asleep with how intense it was. Guy knows how to build a scene.
