Imagine the scene set within the lush confines of a very upscale country estate.

If you're still guessing, we're talking about "The Gentlemen".

This show is a continuation of the narrative from the 2019 film bearing the same title and follows the ambitious quest to establish a criminal dynasty within the serene backdrop of a country estate.

Since its debut on March 7, "The Gentlemen" has captured the audience's favor, boasting an impressive 8.3 rating on IMDb.

The critic score on Rotten Tomatoes may present a more conservative view at 70 percent, but the audience's reception is notably more enthusiastic, reflected in a solid 86 percent approval rating.

So, what's the buzz about the series?

A fair warning, we're diving into some plot details next, so brace yourself for potential spoilers.

"The Gentlemen" tracks the journey of the newly-minted Duke of Halstead, Edward Horniman, portrayed by Theo James, who finds himself inheriting not just his father's vast 15,000 acre estate and title but a whole lot more than he bargained for.

Initially, everything appears to be smooth sailing for Horniman.

Yet, upon his arrival to take possession of his inheritance, he stumbles upon a rather unexpected discovery.

To his surprise, the estate is the center of a thriving weed cultivation operation.

As the series unfolds, viewers are taken along on Horniman's adventure as he navigates the murky waters of the criminal underworld, striving to protect his home without getting on the wrong side of the lawbreakers he encounters.

Fans have been quick to share their enthusiasm for the series in the Netflix Bangers Facebook Group, where they've recounted what captivated them about the show.

One viewer shared, "My daughter and I watched it… kind of binged to be honest. Loved it! So quirky. The humour, the characters, the location. Really great. Sorry it didn't go on longer."

Another fan praised the unique blend of wit characteristic of Guy Ritchie's work, saying, "Fantastic. Always great dialogue in a Guy Ritchie."

One particularly creative description of the series read: "I described this as 'Imagine someone running a weed operation under Downton Abbey, and one of the daughters has a serious cocaine and gambling problem'."

Meanwhile, another viewer succinctly put it: "Excellent series. Loved every episode."

For those intrigued, "The Gentlemen" is ready and waiting for you on Netflix.
