Episode notes
Released first in London in 2019 and then worldwide in early 2020, The Gentlemen is a comedy drama film, co-written, produced and directed by Guy Ritchie. It stars Matthew McConnaughy, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Colin Farrell, Hugh Grant and a cast of repeated character actors that Guy Ritchie often hires for his films. It is a fast paced narrative, narrated by Hugh Grant's character and follows the main character played by Matthew McConnaughy whom is a marijuana kingpin looking to sell his company to the billionaire American played by Jeremy Strong. There are several other plots simultaneously occurring with cross reference to the main one, the sale, and it's a delightful study of power between the classes, presentation, greed and crime. It's available to stream on Netflix and has been followed up with an eight part series also available on Netflix, called the Gentlemen 2.
