The Magic Mike movies were many things (including being way better than you might assume, for the most part), but they also scratched a certain slightly carnal itch that many films don't get near. We're not saying every movie needs buff male bodies on display, but there's often no harm in a few.
Netflix is stepping up to fill that void this year, though, with a new original movie: The Merry Gentlemen. It'll tell an altogether less glitzy tale of the origins of a male dance revue, one that comes together to stave a storied local venue – and it comes to Netflix on 20 November this year.
