What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Eddie Horniman inherits a grand British estate and immediately finds himself running a cannabis empire he never asked for, outmaneuvering career criminals while trying to keep his family's land intact. The comedy is sharp and the danger is real, with quick reversals and escalating schemes replacing any slow build.

Brother-against-brother friction runs through the criminal negotiations like a live wire, turning every deal into a family argument with serious financial and physical consequences. Eddie's lack of underworld instincts is not played for sympathy; it forces him into increasingly inventive positions where one wrong read could cost the Hornimans everything they own.

Gangs of London

Sky Atlantic • Jan 15, 2026
Action & AdventureDrama

Tells the story of London being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of its international gangs and the sudden power vacuum that's created when the head of London's most powerful crime family is assassinated.

Why this pick

The Gentlemen turns family loyalties and criminal deals into tense, fast-moving entertainment, and Gangs of London brings that same mix with far more brutal force. Its rival factions trade betrayals and revenge through frequent, visceral action, making the danger darker and less playful than Eddie’s sharp-edged capers.

Crooks poster

Crooks

Netflix • Apr 14, 2026
DramaCrime

Charly's quiet life with family in Berlin disrupted when past associates threaten them, forcing him to steal coin. Charly and driver Joseph, fatefully collided, now flee with family to escape danger.

Why this pick

The Gentlemen keeps its crime action lively by grounding dangerous choices in family loyalty, a quality Crooks shares in a more urgent, intimate way. A man’s attempt to protect his family drives the flight and pursuit, while the show’s tense pace and citywide danger leave less room for the dry jokes that lighten Eddie’s schemes.
