Furies

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.

That sums it up. It's got hype action. A hero's journey. Underworld lore. Crime Families. Hippity Hop style. And it's French. Like the creator went to the Luc Besson school of storytelling. All style, some story, over-the-top amped fun.

I wouldn't downgrade it 'Fast and Furious' style, but there is definite camp. Maybe if this show does gets multiple seasons, they will end up stealing tanks to take up to space.

It's not that real, grime spot that sells tasty cheese by the slice. It's not dressed up like it's a sit-down with courses. It's Pizza Hut and we're hungry. Thank you, may I have another?

First let me say I love the basic plot line. The concept of The Fury is good stuff, and the action scenes are great. Now that's out of the way, everything else about this show is hackneyed, all the way from the angry girl lead character who somehow not only becomes a combat genius in weeks, to the fact that she owns no clothing that is not a crop top. It's not uncommon in action TV/films for there to be a few plot holes, especially French productions, but this thing is ridiculous. There is a 'jump the shark' moment 4 times in every episode. I wish someone with vision could do this story without selling out to marketing stereotypes.

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.

Let's face the tumult of action and intrigue with "Furies", the TV series that catapults us into the dark and dangerous Paris of crime. In this urban jungle, Lyna, a determined and resolute woman, navigates between vendettas and secrets, promising viewers a journey full of adrenaline and suspense. However, behind the veil of action, lies a maze of intricate plots and characters that, while promising, often leave a sense of dissatisfaction and emptiness. Action is the pulsating heart of "Furies", with sequences that captivate the viewer and transport them into the chaos of the Parisian streets. Lyna, portrayed intensely by Lina El Arabi, is a powerful guide through this whirlwind of contrasting emotions: vengeance, desire for justice, and a profound search for truth. However, as we allow ourselves to be swept away by the breathtaking action, we realize that there is much more beneath the surface of this series. The plot of "Furies" unfolds like an intricate labyrinth, full of twists and turns that leave the viewer breathless. But as we delve deeper, a sense of uncertainty about the value of the entire journey emerges. Secondary characters, while promising, often disappoint due to their lack of depth and development, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction and emptiness. Despite these imperfections, "Furies" still offers an engaging and vibrant experience. The performances of the actors, especially those of Lina El Arabi and Marina Foïs, are exceptional and keep the viewer glued to the screen. The Parisian settings add a touch of charm and atmosphere, transporting us into a dark and dangerous world that serves as the backdrop to the story. "Furies" presents itself as a compelling mix of contrasting emotions: thrilling action, tight suspense, some moments of disappointment, and a touch of Parisian charm. It's not a perfect series, but for those willing to immerse themselves in the whirlwind of its intricate plots, it could still offer a noteworthy experience.
