The weeks follow each other, but are not the same on Netflix. Just a few days ago, Avatar: The Last Airbender absolutely dominated the TOP of the most watched series on the SVOD service. From now on, the live action adaptation can only note the lack of interest from spectators. The latter are rushing in March 2024 to a British series created by a renowned director.
The Gentlemen domine Avatar sur Netflix
The new serial phenomenon produced by Netflix was born from the fertile imagination of Guy Ritchie. The British filmmaker behind the comedies with acid humor “Scams, Crimes and Botanique” (1998), “Snatch: You steal or you raque” (2000), but also the cinematic diptych Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law directs for the first time a series intended for the small screen. The Gentlemen (2024) is the adaptation of the film of the same name directed five years earlier by the same Guy Ritchie, and it is TOP 1 on Netflix just 24 hours after it was uploaded.
Taking up the codes and the “gangster” atmosphere of the feature film, this Netflix series which spans eight episodes offers subscribers an original story and characters, and not a long version of The Gentlemen (2019). The English filmmaker remains true to himself and gratifies spectators with a “black” tone of which he alone has the secret and with sustained direction. He can notably count on a cast of veterans to play the main roles including Theo James (Divergent, How It Ends), Kaya Scodelario (The Labyrinth, Skins), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, Usual Suspects) and of course the regular “Guy Ricthie” productions… the essential Vinnie Jones (Snatch / Scams, Crimes and Botany / etc.)
Eddie Horniman suddenly inherits his father's vast estate, before discovering that she is part of a veritable cannabis empire. To top it all off, dangerous organized crime figures in Britain want their piece of the pie. Determined to extricate his family from their clutches, Eddie tries to take the gangsters at their own game. But as he gets deeper into crime, he begins to take a liking to it. – Netflix France
The Gentlemen has been available on Netflix since March 7, 2024.
Guy Ritchie's return to the cinema in 2024
After The Covenant: Mission in Afghanistan (2023), Guy Ritchie returns to theaters in 2024 with The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. This film adaptation of the novel “Churchill's Secret Warriors: The Explosive True Story of the Special Forces Desperadoes of WWII” written in 2014 by Damien Lewis revisits the famous Operation Postmaster which took place during the Second World War. Henry Cavill (Argylle, The Witcher), Eiza Gonzalez (The 3-Body Problem) and many other actors and actresses join the ranks of Guy Ritchie for a high-level fictional military epic, but based very loosely on very real facts.
