Summary
Reviewers say 'Snatch' effectively channels Guy Ritchie's original film with quirky characters and witty dialogue. The series is praised for its fresh storylines and character development, though some miss the film's raw humor and menace. Acting, especially Rupert Grint's, receives mixed feedback. The blend of humor, action, and drama is lauded, yet clichéd tropes and unrealistic scenarios draw criticism. Overall, 'Snatch' is seen as an entertaining, though imperfect, adaptation.
Featured reviews
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.
This is a well- crafted series that takes the DNA of Guy Ritchies' films and spins it out as a series. Snatch is exactly what fans of Mockney comedy-crime-drama want in their viewing - lags in dire straights, smart birds, who'd knock your top off if you called them that, all with sharp suits and sharper dialogues.
The settings and acting are all good - the acting is mockney on steroids, but is reined in just enough that it occasionally mocks but never sends up the genre - more of a nod and wink if you know what I mean than two smoking barrels all the time. The acting works - both the male and female leads exude confidence, and the plot of missing gold bullion and a load of messy situations make for very easy viewing.
This is one of the better new series out there - it refuses to take itself too seriously, but neither is it just buffoons and lampoons. It's very well made with tight editing and good camera work, and everyone obviously knows they're working with a good script and a winning formula.
Fun.

Episode 1 and 2, and maybe even 3 were not too bad, but after that it just kept going downhill. Very disappointing considering how good the movie was.
The acting was okay, but it was very poorly written. I can let some things go, but there was so much that was just so way over the top and completely unbelievable.
It was also clear the writers didn't have near enough material for 10 episodes, as many of the episodes were filled with so much filler that didn't move the story along, and were of little interest to the viewer.
It is a real shame. I will give season 2 a chance, but hard to believe it will be any better.

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,

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.
