The Gentlemen
tv·TV-MA·Mar 7, 2024·
The Gentlemen scores a low 2/10 on wokeness by focusing purely on gangster ambition, betrayal, and stylish banter around Eddie Horniman's inherited cannabis empire, with no identity politics or social justice framing.
"The Gentlemen" is a Guy Ritchie crime comedy centered on Eddie Horniman inheriting an aristocratic estate tied to a hidden cannabis empire, as he partners with Susie Glass to manage underworld dealings, mafia deals in Italy, House of Lords maneuvering, revenge plots, and estate conflicts through classic gangster tropes of ambition, betrayal, and violence.
Across the reviewed seasons, episodes emphasize stylistic banter, supply issues, rival threats, and family intrigue without any framing around identity, systemic oppression, or social justice themes. Strong female leads and diverse supporting characters integrate organically as original figures in the modern UK criminal milieu rather than forced additions, while creator intent and reception focus solely on irreverent hijinks and traditional entertainment. This consistent absence of progressive messaging or DEI elements underpins the show's overall woke score of 2/10.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
