We tuned in to this show solely because of your rave review! It's mind-blowing, and Susie Glass is my spirit animal (minus the whole murdering thing, of course). Your analysis of the show is spot-on. I'm totally rooting for Eddie and Susie to set up house together, too, but I'm crossing my fingers that Eddie and Tammy keep their love boat afloat. A breakup between them would likely send Eddie spiraling into the abyss, and let's face it, where else is he going to find such a gem of a woman who puts up with his crazy ass?
This is one of my most favorite shows right now , and this is coming from someone who rarely watches TV. I really hope they return with a season 2. My favorite episode was when they were tasked with stealing a Lamborghini.
1) Fredwick needs to shut his trap except for in episode 3 when he does an insulting Russian or Romanian (?) gangster accent. That was kinda good. Anyways, like you I had a moment of all out cringe when he shouts about how they “got away with it” when Tommy is barely out of screenshot
I skimmed your rant and rave as pre-warned (thank you). When you shared your affection for White Lotus and Big Little Lies immediate trust was established. I think you recommended Fisk too? If so, I'll blindly watch whatever you say at this point. In return---Apples Never Fall and Boy Swallows Universe was a good one season gulp too.
Oh some many shows I've never heard of and potentially to watch (primarily The thick of it, I guess, because most other things did not receive such a good review)! Surprisingly fun read in spite of not knowing what you're going on about haha
- Anything Susie Glass wears is tremendous. Particularly, the Herringbone suit or blazer. Couldn't tell the bottoms situation. Either way, she's a winning character. The dogs vs men speech with Sticky Pete and her being in the business of "dog training" felt all out Cruella (Emma Stone vibes) I'm here for it.
- Could we love Theo James' quiet, stewing alpha male energy any more? We all needed a palette cleanser/reset after watching his toxic masculinity bravado in "White Lotus S2"
- Is Vinnie Jones going to be better utilized? We need more air time. I'm thinking yes.
- All the name confectionary mashups of Freddie and Edward - Fredwina is tops, but Freddie's wife Tammy having one was the pinnacle of nicknames
- Ugh. Freddie!!! But yes, to him slipping in his chicken suit.
I scrolled down to let you know I will be back. I started the Gentlemen but switched to One Day because my daughter wanted to binge while I was in town. 🥰
I loved this series too! But yes, there were a few hard to digest moments, for sure.

Episode 1 of "The Gentlemen" watched.

It's time to down periscope and start shooting torpedoes..... My new fave catchphrase.
I just loved every part of it.
Your review is spot-on Kate and just had me laughing out loud while having a coffee in the local High Street.
I particularly enjoyed, characters, Wham Tam and The Gospel...and wonder if Blanket was called so because he covers things up?
Desperately, hope there is season two sooner rather and the last episode will be the wedding of Vinnie and Joely.
I’m 3/4 of the way through Irish wish - dreadful but will have to see it through 😱
Thank you for for the lols 👏🏼
