Snatch

If you loved the movie Snatch then you will love this series...Rupert Grint is especially good in it lol...Great cast all around. Guy Ritchie will be proud I'd imagine...Wish he had a part in doing this series, then it'd be a solid 10 I'm sure - but definitely a 9 if you loved the series, so all in all, I loved this series and hope for a season 2.

The cast of the show was pretty well chosen, everyone seemed to fit their parts well, those not familiar with the source material might balk at the stereotypical sometimes even racist depictions of some of the characters, but its all to a point. The original film much like this show wouldn't win any major awards but at the same time it shouldn't be fed to the pigs like many other "tv series" adaptations.

the first thing you notice about this is whats missing, like the lack of the characters "Turkish, Gorgeous George, Tommy (and his sausages that even by the end of the movie still aren't cooked)" and Alan Fords "Bricktop" however key points being the main bit of the story, the main character loses loads of money in a rigged fight he was trying to win with his boxer, coming upon a large fortune that everyone's interested in, and of course the pikeys.

id call this a decent adaptation but really hope that we see something more of it, at only 10 episodes and a lot of the source left untouched, there's plenty for a second season to hopefully make a better impression. especially if they bring Alan Ford into the mix,

A very lightweight attempt at a TV series very lightly based on the excellent movie. The characters are fluffy pretty definitely not- criminal looking actors and the dialogue is completely uninteresting, unlike in the movie. The raw humor and sense of menace is missing. A real bastardization of the film, and a case study in why a director matters, a script matters, and realism matters. The epitome of why TV usually stinks.

Its not the movie, I feel when making the show they knew they couldn't make something as good as Snatch, but what I felt they did amazingly is it captures the feel of the movie, with none of the big name actors, yet instead its full with an all young main cast who were very enjoyable to watch together.

The series follows a typical Snatch/ Lock Stock or similar movie type story of them constantly chasing the payday which keeps moving and I felt overall they did this well.

Don't get me wrong its not the best series ever with not the best script made ever but it captured the feeling of Snatch which I am very happy about.

I would rather watch more of this kind of series or movie then more superhero movies/series that are being pumped out year after year.

Why on earth name this snatch. At least try to make it your own, at least TRY to make it original.

Training Day, bad. Snatch, poor.

The story-line itself if fun, the acting not all that bad but it remains a cheap rip-off, unconvincing, cliché-filled and butt-ugly monster that does not honor the movie.

I feel like producers and writers don't try anymore. Genius series to me now are This is Us, The night of and Big Little Lies. Drama's with real actors and real emotions.

Snatch is no more than every element of the movie exaggerated. They could think of more different types/dialects, that are generally poorly portrayed.

Sure, in essence its kind-of fun to watch. The no-brainer. Don't expect characters to be deep or interesting. Sex lacks, vulgar language not enough, action mediocre amounts.

All in all I see this as a skeleton of the movie, an empty vessel which I wont regret not watching anymore.

NEXT!
