‘The Gentlemen’ Season 2 Fixes ‘The Godfather’s Biggest Character Mistake

Guy Ritchie is no stranger to the crime genre, bringing his signature mix of morally gray characters, sharp-tongued dialogue, and high-octane action sequences to his movies and television shows. His style is on full display in The Gentlemen — Ritchie’s punchier, British take on The Godfather. The Gentlemen premiered in 2024, a spin-off of the 2019 film of the same name. Recently returning for its second season, the Netflix series follows Eddie Horniman’s (Theo James) descent into criminality after inheriting the Duke of Halstead title and discovering his family’s business arrangement with the Glass family weed enterprise.
