Furies

Its been a while since I have watched some good French action without any boring dialogues and wasting time. The series is interesting to watch, some good action scenes and decent script. If your looking for some good weekend binge with guns, gangs and mystery, this one is for you.

The scenes are well done, keeping up the speed to delivery without any fillers on romance and drama. The unfolding of events, twists, reveals and awe-moments are good enough for a pizza and action watchtime.

The actors are great and fight scenes are realistic enough to keep going till the end. I'd recommend to watch it and get entertained. And well, "The Fury" is a good protagonist to look out for.

I am sorry folks, but I could not make it with this series. No, I could not, because it is totally a big, huge, juicy non sense. First Marina Fois in such a crap is like if we had seen Louis De Funès in a western.... The story and production design remind me Luc Besson's Europacorp craps from the nineties and 2000's: such as TAXI, BANLIEUE 13, YAMAKASI.... I tried two episodes but, it was too hard for me to see such series where women lead the underworld. As also MAFIOSA was, but the latest was a real tough, gritty and poignant TV show. Not like this one, one of the biggest nonsense of TV industry.

So a woman whos never been in a fight suddenly turns into a combination of Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne 5 months after being in a prison - a place where she got beat up daily no less?

The action scenes are well-choreographed no doubt but the plot has more holes than pathways making it seem just ridiculous.

The fault here lies with the writers and the lead lyna - tho that may be on the director and not the actress. Either way, the action team gets props but the writers let the show down. Guess they missed out a few pages in between when they handed the script to the director.

Tv shows are fun when larger than life but not when they are just plain ridiculous.

I am so glad I watched two episodes before reading the bad reviews, otherwise I would not have watched it.

Many reviews say the acting is terrible from the main actress, is she an amazing actress, no! Is she awful, I didn't think she was that bad! Maybe because it is dubbed for me it was less noticeable.

BUT what I can tell you is the series is interesting, gripping and had so much going on, that it had me gripped immediately.

All I am going to say is; gangsters, godfathers, furies, Olympus and the underworld and a lot of action with twists and turns that take place, worth a watch! I look forward to the next season.

Surprised to see the overall rating. Maybe the French liked it the most. Weak story line, fuzzy characters, bad acting and direction. Both the Furies have expressionless wooden faces, especially the younger Fury. I read in one of the reviews about the actress may have gotten this role because of the casting couch, but though I do not agree to it completely, she is not a good fit for the role and she is very bad at acting. And then the introduction of the second boyfriend, whole role does not have any impact on the story except that the character was used to show that the younger Fury can have sex. And it is not even funny when both the boyfriends fight for her. At least the first boyfriend had some say in the story to show how she was a normal girl until her father is murdered but the second boyfriend is ridiculous and he too is a very bad actor. The first and the last episodes were a bit consolation in a rather a bland show. If the role of both the boyfriends were to be reduced or deleted the series would have ended in 5-6 episodes.
