Furias

I truly enjoyed watching Furies. It is a classic french action gendre to the core but it also adds surprising twists and turns that will really make you want to watch the next episode. Every time. Some complaints about how realistic gun fight sequences are exaggerated imo. Sure I am no expert with guns but the scenes look as good or better than most big budget Hollywood gun fights scenes i have ever seen. Note: I admit that i also watched Furies in its original french language track since i am bilingual, so not sure how good the english dubbing is which could make a difference. When watching other languages foreign films ( i also love anything Scandinavian ), i always make it a point to listen to the intended original language track and read closed captions when necessary. Give it a try. It is well executed.

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.

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?

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.

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.
