Netflix's "The Gentlemen" is a spin-off from Guy Ritchie's movie of the same name.
The series focuses on an aristocrat who stumbles into the criminal underworld when his father dies.
If you're a fan of Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen," you might be wondering whether Netflix's new spin-off series shares any similarities with the 2019 movie.
The film starred Matthew McConaughey as wealthy drug baron, Mickey Pearson, who built an empire by growing weed under huge estates owned by British Lords and Ladies.
While Mickey doesn't appear in the show, it follows a similar idea. This time, the main character is Eddie Horniman (Theo James) who discovers a weed farm underneath his family's estate after his father dies.
The show is a self-contained story, so don't expect any of the characters from the film to pop up, but there are several references to the wider world that fans may miss.
