The Gentlemen: a spoiler-light introduction

What new viewers need to know before starting.

The Gentlemen is Guy Ritchie's stylish crime saga about a British aristocratic family whose grand country estate sits atop a hidden cannabis empire. When Eddie Horniman inherits the dukedom, he also inherits the illegal business — and must decide how far he will go to protect his family. Expect sharp dialogue, dark comedy and double-crosses. Begin with the film or with Season 1.
