Not very often does a new television series come out that really draws you in like this series has me. I want to put it up there with Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, and the other great series that have come out over the years, but time will tell if this one really stacks up to those series. If I were to compare season one of each though, so far The Gentlemen is looking like it will easily be one of my favorites.
The first episode understsndably starts a little slow as we are introduced to the main characters, but by the end, it really draws you in. Each episode builds on the story and the relationships between the characters, and it just keeps getting better.
I was initially worried about the deviation from the movie, with a completely new cast and perspective, but by episode two, I completely lost any concerns about that. This show holds its own against the movie in every way. That being said... I really hope there is a sequel to the movie. The movie is just begging to be a trilogy.
If you liked the movie, you're gonna love this series. Don't go into it with the movie in mind though. Just watch this as a totally different take on the storyline of the movie. I really hope this one continues for many more seasons!
