Taste-matched follow-ups
These picks stay near the dark crime comedy, high-speed crime action, and criminal underworld schemes feel, then widen out into a few deeper cuts.
Closest matches first, then broader nearby picks.
Why this fits: The Gentlemen makes criminal schemes fun to watch by letting sharp jokes and shaky alliances sit right beside real danger, a mix The Apartment Job also delivers. Its revenge con keeps escalating as trust between its mismatched partners frays, with a drier, more satirical edge aimed at corrupt targets.
Why this fits: 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.
Why this fits: 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.
The Gentlemen’s criminal schemes and fast-moving action make Steal a natural next choice for crime that keeps escalating. Instead of an established underworld family, it puts an ordinary person in danger during a high-speed heist, with desperate choices driving the pressure.
The Gentlemen’s family conflict and criminal power struggles lead naturally to Fightland’s crime-family vendetta. Its focus is more personal and grounded, following an underdog’s revenge through urban crime action rather than the estate schemes and dark comedy of The Gentlemen.
The Gentlemen’s crime action and underworld schemes make Reacher a good pick for another story of dangerous people facing forceful opposition. Reacher shifts from family rivalry and dark comedy to a lone drifter solving corruption mysteries, with sharp instincts and physical confrontations at the center.
