Man I tried to watch that show but I couldn’t get into it bc I thought the pacing was all wrong. Watched maybe the first two episodes and I felt like I was being thrust into these extreme scenes with characters where I was like “idc if they live or die I don’t know anything about them yet”. Is it good? Should I give it another try?
Gotta watch with original audio, eng subs. I immediately clocked that it had dubs before there was even onscreen dialogue, just from the initial voiceover. Something about their dubbing turned me off. I’ve also had other people that I recommended the show and weren’t into it until I had them turn off english dubs.
It loses some of the revolutionary edge that was in the first couple seasons once Netflix gets ahold of it.
You can’t take it too seriously. It’s just a fun heist, fuck the system type show. The later seasons are worthy of saying they jumped the shark, but I still found them to be fun action slop. I watched the behind the scenes shows and they’re aware of how over the top it is and they’re just having fun with it.
It might not be for you, but I found it to be pretty fun slop and it even inspired some real life bank robberies, which I’m all for.
I’ve been pretty clear about this.

I enjoyed it with a couple of caveats.
