Has anyone recommended The Gentlemen?
First episode was bloody good. -

Have watched up to EP4. Found it got a bit samey, but good popcorn TV.
I was wondering if it got like that.
The chicken scene at the end of the first episode had me laughing my head off.
And the main character is a bit too cool. -

Based on Clavell's book
Two episodes have been aired
It is very goodWatched three episodes and I'm really enjoying it. I haven't read the book in >30 years so this is effectively all new to me.
+1. Watched the first 4 episodes and finding it excellent. The actress playing Lady Toda is hawt and actually a Kiwi born Japanese! She was also in Giri/Haji and apparently had a bit part in Fast Furious 9

She's also the lead actress in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV+.
Hot AF!

Stylistically it's bang on
TBH I can't remember the story from the movie

The Brothers Sun. Triad/family based comedy come drama. Lots of fairly well choreographed fight scenes, engaging characters and Michelle Yeoh playing a great part. Worth a look.

By coincidence I watched the movie last week. I can't remember if I had seen it before. Based on the description, the TV series looks to be told from the other side (i.e., the aristocrats).

…..such good fun to watch again. Larry and his cringy situations are absolutely hilarious.
Wasn't surprised to see Richard Lewis recently died.
He looked like he was at death's door in the recent episodes. -

Looks like the fern missed him in the RIP thread too, I’d better remedy that.

Yes. Giri/Haji is good.

Finished The Gentlemen
A rollicking romp in the vein of Lock Stock and Snatch
Vinnie in his best role
4 Toffs out of 5 Gs

The Gone. Well-plotted and well-acted but the Irish characters were a bit stereotyped. The use of te reo was really well done and added to the story.
3.5/5

@Victor-Meldrew advertised on sky as mori and Irish. That's new.
