Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

So it's obligatory to state beforehand, that I love the original movie. Well-acted wacky characters, a plot with some sub-plots centered around one precious item, good music and a lot of one- liners. Hell, I would argue that the whole movie is a one liner start to finish.How does that translate in to a TV-series? I was surprised. Of course it is not possible to get all one-liners in 10 episodes of 40 minutes, although there are quite some, but the rest of the above was done very well.This series isn't really (and maybe luckily) an adaption of the movie in my opinion. It is more of an homage and has many winks to the movie.The characters are well acted and especially the side-characters have some of the wackiness that the characters had in the movie. Especially the characters of Vic and Uncle Ben deserve a shout-out, but even until late in the first season new interesting characters are added. This gives every episode a certain freshness and hopefully this can result in a second season. The only type of character I found missing was a heavy hitting gangster like Brick Top from the movie. Although it is maybe even better that there isn't a character/actor who tries to do an Alan Ford rip-off job.The music in this is also as diverse as in the original movie.The plot was very good, well executed and diverse. Every episode has a break-out and action-heavy scene which made the first season as a whole fun to watch. I would especially mention the prison break- scene, which was well shot, well executed and a pleasure to watch.This series is not the movie, it lacks a bit of the pacing and some of the great characters, but it makes up for it for showing the same passion and fun as the movie tries to show. A worthwhile watch if you are a fan of the original and like the crime-caper genre as a whole. I rate this 8 out of 10.

I'm giving this show a 10 because -- while not perfect, and certainly not very original being that it is based on a classic film -- the series was very fun to watch and, after bingeing on it, I was left thinking about it for days after and wanting more. That, in a world filled with forgettable crap (both original and unoriginal alike), was enough to merit a 10-star review from yours truly. To be honest, while the inspiration is obvious, Snatch (the series) is really it's own thing, and although it maybe isn't as "cool" and "cutting edge" as the Guy Ritchie masterpiece, it most definitely has better developed (versions) of the characters that I became far more attached to as each episode passed. It's no small thing to create (or...adapt) fictional characters that a person can care about. At the end of the day, I gave it a chance because I'm always willing to check out the (oftimes underrated) acting talents of one of the Harry Potter kids, and while Grint certainly delivers, I found that I stayed through until the end of the last episode because the whole thing is just a plain, old, joyous ride.I really hope they make more. I wouldn't feel terribly... unfinished... with the way it ended, but I would certainly love to see more of these characters doing adventurous crime stuff.

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.

In the past year's craze of "let's capitalize on a successful movie by turning it into a TV-show for nostalgic 30-somethings", "Snatch" follows the same recipe, taking enough elements from the original to justify the use of the name, but still understanding that's it a TV show and needs to be treated accordingly.And, as with all these shows I've viewed recently (Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, Westworld), it unfortunately doesn't manage to get above the level of "decent entertainment".This show, among its qualities, has two main problems :-- Not everyone has the directing and writing talents of Guy Ritchie, and not everyone has the charisma of Jason Statham or Brad Pitt. The directors and leads of this show certainly don't. The main characters are not bad, in writing and acting, and do generate some sympathy, but when you compare them to such flamboyant characters as Mickey or Boris the Blade, these new heroes taste very bland.-- The "Snatch formula" worked incredibly well when packed in a 90-minutes movie. When it is diluted in 8 hours of a 10 episodes series, the effect is far from being the same. Goofy gangsters, funny dialogues and stylish editing are lost amidst family drama, love interests and other stuff that is just there to increase the overall length. Let's just hope that the happy ending will keep the authors from making a second season.
