More series with class, stoners & criminals

If you liked The Gentlemen, here are two series with a similar mix:

Weeds: Suburban mom deals weed

A suburban mother becomes a dealer – blackly humorous, exciting and full of taboo-breaking. Weeds is a classic with a bite. While Weeds tells the story of the weed business from the perspective of a suburban mother, The Gentlemen is about a professionally run British cannabis empire – with a fine tailored suit instead of a baby carriage and much more gangster honor.

Mary-Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin
8 seasons full of weed and madness

Family Business: Weed instead of butchery

French humor meets start-up vibes in the series Family Business. A family rebuilds their lives – with cannabis instead of roast veal. Family Business focuses on French-style family chaos and charm – The Gentlemen, on the other hand, brings coolness, British cynicism and a highly professional underground system that is more reminiscent of the mafia than a family.
