The first season will consist of eight episodes and will be released on streaming on March 7.

In the comments under the video, fans of Guy Ritchie's work expressed delight at the release of the trailer.

Many are confident that this project will be successful.

Just a master of his craft,” wrote one user.

“If (director -

) Guy Ritchie, be sure to watch.

100% guarantee,” noted another fan of the director.

One viewer left a long comment expressing the hope that Guy Ritchie's new work will be as good as his earlier crime films.

“I really hope this is a return to his old approach to storytelling.

The series has a chance to be both cult and incredible!

The Shakespearean monologues from the films Lock and Stock and Snatch, as well as the steady development of characters and dramatic plot twists, inscribed in the narrative stereotypes and culture of the British underworld, were almost poetic in their execution. .

This series definitely has the potential to become a television masterpiece,” movie fan Richie shared his opinion.

In addition, some viewers expressed hope for the appearance of already well-known characters from the feature film “The Gentlemen” in the project, played by Hugh Grant, Matthew McConaughey and Colin Farrell.

Quite a few users remembered the film itself, noting that they would watch the series, since it is the same universe.

“As a fan of The Gentlemen, I really hope the series is up to par,” one wrote.

However, users were also very pleased with the cast of the series: most admired the fact that Theo James plays the main role in the crime project, and noted that it looks very organic.

Part of the audience was happy about the appearance of Kaya Scodelario in the series, and one of the viewers even said that this would probably be the most decent project from Netflix in recent times.

The production of the series “The Gentlemen” became known in 2022.

The project is based on Guy Ritchie’s film of the same name, released in 2019.

According to Collider, initially, according to Ritchie's idea, The Gentlemen (2019) was supposed to be a TV series, but for unknown reasons, it was decided to make a film out of the story.

The film tells about the American Mickey Pearson, who came up with an illegal scheme for selling drugs using the estates of impoverished British aristocrats, as well as about the journalist Fletcher, who comes to the house of Pearson's right-hand man with an intriguing offer.

He shares with him a script exposing his boss and the entire business, after which he convinces the man to agree to his terms.

The roles in the film were played by Charlie Hunnam, Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant, Henry Golding, Jeremy Strong, Jason Wong and many others.

The film was positively received by both critics and audiences: on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 75% “freshness”, and the audience rating is 84%.

The project grossed more than $115 million worldwide against a budget of $22 million.
