Hit action series suffers streaming setback despite rave reviews
Guy Ritchie’s critically acclaimed series, The Gentlemen, has landed a sequel, but it seems the tide might be turning against it. The sophomore season, which followed the success of the 2020 film, debuted on Netflix on September 3rd, immediately setting a high bar for the highly anticipated return.
Early indicators suggested a potential dip, but the numbers delivered a surprising boost. The series garnered an impressive 84% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, marking a significant improvement over the 75% rating Season 1 achieved in 2024.
Despite this strong critical reception and the series’ existing popularity, the overall narrative suggests a lingering challenge. While the buzz around The Gentlemen remains strong, the show appears to be grappling with the heavy expectation set by its predecessor.
