"The Gentlemen," Season 2

Theo James makes it look like James Bond started growing weed in a flawed but frisky second season of sex, drugs and RocknRolla.

It’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous with gangsters and weed. Actually, I don’t know exactly what “The Gentlemen” is. But it’s back for season 2 (with a third session already on the books) and this time a dark streak has invaded all the comic romping and stomping. A shade of bleak looks good on it. Everything looks good on Theo James, who plays the lead like a royal James Bond.
