The Gentlemen Season 2 renewal confirmed via Variety with Theo James and Kaya Scodelario confirmed to reprise roles as Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass

[hauntingofhalstead]

James’ performance as Eddie functions almost like that of a straight man. He is a pillar of zen amid constant madness, which is why “The Gentlemen” works so beautifully. Yet, as one managed challenge creates another, his balmy disposition morphs into something more sinister. Intrigued by Susie and her ability to get shit done...the pair each have distinct ways of solving problems, but they find themselves interested in one another, even when suspicion colors the building chemistry between them.

you can’t give me two emotionally repressed morally grey characters with intense sexual tension who would kill for each other but also wants to kill one another and not expect me to ship them

something's got a hold of me lately .

this scene is actually so underrated because what do you mean they were just *making intense eye contact* without exchanging a single word but you can feel the palpable tension rising and burning smoke from your tv screen

I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on the role Princess Rosanne’s character played in the show. Feel free to comment or submit an ask so I can reply!

My personal feeling on this is:

The Princess and Susie represent two different aspects to Eddie’s life. Rosanne represents the “purity” elitism is often misconstrued for in Eddie’s former aristocratic life before the truth of his father’s dealings with the Glass family came to light. Where as Susie represents the dark side of the business, and it explains while Eddie tried his best to keep Susie at an arm’s when he was trying to stop himself from getting involved further with the Glass family.

I also believe Ritchie, his team and Netflix were trying to gage the audience response behind the scenes to both the Princess-Eddie and the Susie-Eddie dynamics to see which one garners a better response. In my opinion, I don't think the Princess's character added anything substantial to the plot. It's hard to push forth a side character as a love interest for the male main character and expect the interest of the audience when you’ve already set up so much unbridled tension and layered complexity between him and the female main character. Especially when that female main character is such an established strong powerhouse like Susie, who is already a power player in her own right.

It’ll be interesting to see how the dynamic between Susie and Eddie will change now that he’s no longer attempting to remove himself from her and they’re equals, not to mention the obvious audience investment in their relationship.

every angel of life needs her angel of death

I fully understand that the reason Bobby Glass insisted on Eddie being involved with the car theft in episode 3 (when it had nothing to do with him) was because he wanted Eddie to sink deeper into that world, and realize how much he fit in.

However it is deeply funny to me to imagine that Bobby just wanted to set up Eddie and Susie.

along the way eddie started meaning more to susie than just a business associate and that’s why when henry collins told her they’ve “got her posh boy on the hooks” she felt the worst of his betrayal and she reacted with her emotions and went to the gospel even after that phone call with bobby glass in this essay i will—

Something I don’t see anybody talking about is how Susie didn’t start applying pressure until her dad outright threatened Edward’s life.

It’s subtle, but in the episode 5 scene where she visits daddy glass in jail, she’s the one to say that Edward wants out and that they should start thinking about solution’s until he point blank tells her ‘no one walks away’ and ‘I’ll chop his head off.’

I only realised this on my second rewatch. On my first two watches, I always thought it was strange how much she pushed for Edward to stay in the business and get more involved. Like, I get it girly but it’s getting desperate.

But then I realised she is desperate, because she’s trying to save his life.

AND she was actually quite nice about it when you think of her circumstances. Yes, she was sneaky but she still managed to give him choice and agency, and giving him a lot more of her trust than he was probably entitied to.

The first two episodes of the gentlemen establishes her (mostly through the jethro reveal) as this give no fuck stone cold killer girl boss, and she is that. But she’s also protective and caring and impulsive and trying her very best to be taken seriously in her male-dominated world.

Anyways I love my girlboss who also sometimes girlfails but it’s okay because she girlpicks herself up everytime

And that’s it. That’s the whole show.

i just noticed in the last episode of the show that when eddie hands susie his family ring before he asks her to be his partner she’s wearing rings on every finger but her pinky like call me delusional but i’m choosing to believe that’s some professional level foreshadowing

[hauntingofhalstead]

susie glass is definitely top three in the history of girlbosses to have ever girlbossed but she’s also mastered the art of babygirlism which makes her the best at what she does because yes she murders people your honour but i don’t know how you can look at her and not think she’s innocent
