Review of Snatch

Snatch (2017–2018)
10/10
Absolutely Brilliant, Some of the Best TV in Years - It does the film justice
17 March 2017
Each episode is as exciting and riveting as the last. Great cast, brilliantly written, acting is on point.

Quite unpredictable with lots of fresh ideas. A couple of times I thought I had the story pegged, only for the rug to be tugged from underneath.

While that's true, they also do plenty of nods to the film. Whether it be the camera panning style, certain phrases, or language. When an (admittedly common in everyday English) phrase "feed you to the pigs" cropped up, I couldn't help but hear an echoing of Brick Top's voice reverberating around my skull.

The whole setting, myriad of character backgrounds, cultures, social classes, groups, etc is fascinating. For the parts I can compare to real life experiences, they strike the balance well between how it is & what they can depict in the series.

I haven't been able to stop watching since it was released, it's better than most stuff on TV. It surely has to get a 2nd season, I hope this is only the beginning of a whole Snatch Franchise.
