Netflix Welcomes Gentlemen & Gangsters To The US

Michael Marcimain’s adaptation of Klas Östergren’s novels, Gentlemen & Gangsters, will be available on Netflix from June 1st. It is the second SVT title to appear on the platform, following The Bridge.

Gentlemen & Gangsters tells the story of a beaten up, bruised, and scared young writer who hides in a Stockholm apartment, writing the story of its disappeared inhabitants: the flamboyant and charismatic Morgan brothers.

It all began a year earlier, when he was rooming with Henry Morgan, a boxer, piano player, composer, bartender, and old-fashioned gentleman with a Gatsby-like capacity for turning life into a feast and absolutely no talent for keeping secrets.

The two friends led the high-life in Stockholm until the day Henry’s younger brother Leo – a star poet, drunk, political provocateur – showed up. Leo drags them into a scandal involving illegal weapons and gangsters, and soon the three men find themselves unwittingly and irreversibly trapped in a dangerous plot.
