Series Brief

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 64 /100

Critics broadly agree that the French Netflix series Furies excels as a high-octane action spectacle, boasting impressive fight choreography, fast pacing, and strong performances from its female leads. Reviewers praise its stylish, gritty depiction of the Parisian criminal underworld, often comparing its kinetic energy and revenge-driven storyline to films like John Wick.

However, reception is considerably more mixed regarding the show's writing and narrative structure. Multiple critics note that the series suffers from a dense mythology, convoluted subplots, and narrative cliches. Some reviewers felt the script relied too heavily on adding unnecessary plot twists rather than fleshing out character motivations, while others criticized the season's cliffhanger ending.

Ultimately, consensus frames Furies as a flawed yet highly entertaining action thriller. While viewers looking for narrative subtlety may be disappointed, those seeking adrenaline-pumping combat and stylish Parisian crime aesthetics will find it an enjoyable ride.

“Despite flaws in the plotline, this series is filled with powerful portrayals of its female leads and adrenaline-pumping action sequences that leave viewers on the edge of their seats.”

“Some solid action and one or two decent turns are bogged down by a dense mythology and utilitarian storytelling.”

“gritty, stylish, fast-paced, and most importantly, action-packed.”

“The script solution to any problem seems to be, throw in another subplot.”

Why fans love it

Furies grounds its crime narrative in a stark, serious vision of the Paris underworld. The show balances high-stakes kinetic action with a measured, mysterious progression that keeps the power dynamics between its criminal factions shifting. It is a world where the quiet moments carry as much tension as the eventual outbursts of violence.

Marina Foïs anchors this environment, bringing a cold precision to the mechanics of the city's peacekeepers. By focusing on the rigid structure that governs the city's dark corners, the series prioritizes the weight of consequences over simple thrills. It appeals to those who favor a grounded approach to the action genre where every decision creates a ripple effect.
