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 Vice Principals (2016), Santa Clarita Diet (2017) and Weeds (2005). 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 BEEF (2023).
