Shows that feel likeThe Gentlemen (2024–)

When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it's home to an enormous weed empire — and its proprietors aren't going anywhere.

If you loved The Gentlemen, the closest series we have are Santa Clarita Diet (2017), Weeds (2005) and The End of the F***ing World (2017). All three share The Gentlemen's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Office (2001).
