Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen has taken first place in Netflix’s weekly top 10 shows list, and it looks like audiences cannot get enough of the feisty crime drama.
The original series by the legendary British director currently sits in first place on theNetflix Global Top 10list from March 4 to March 10. The Gentlemen was the most watched TV show during that week with a staggering 12.2 million views. Netflix original Avatar: The Last Airbender takes second place with 9.1 million views during its third week in the top 10, then in third sits the steamer’s newest true crime documentary The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping with 7.1 million.
What’s more, the audience reviews certainly reflect the views. With an 84% audience score onRotten Tomatoes, it looks as though streamers have been loving the series, with one viewer calling it an “absolute Masterpiece of a series. A breath of fresh air from the normal garbage. The music, cinematics, and outrageously unhinged plot were so engaging. It had us hooked.” Another added, “So happy that it matched the bars set by the movie, loved every second. I love most of Guy’s movies and this series allows me to savor the moment a bit longer.”
Alongside James and Kaya Scodelario, the cast also includesSnatch’s Vinnie Jones, Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, Joely Richardson, and Daniel Ings. The series has not yet been renewed for a second season, but the ending certainlyleaves the door open for another installment.
