I get this free with my BT subscription, which is the only good thing I can say about this show, which is beyond bad! It's even beyond awful!! I remember the original Snatch at the cinema- I even own it on blue-ray- but this is a poor man's knock off version of the movie. Even the way these guys talk seems forced, contrived and fake- it's one thing hearing these words from Jason Statham but it's another thing hearing it from the 3 leads! Add in an over the top Colombian "gangster" and his obese cuddly sidekick who's about as menacing as wet custard and the most inept wannabe "streetwise" gang outside of an Ealing comedy. And Rupert Grint is extremely bad in this as well
.shockingly bad! With the amount of mistakes he makes along the way and his big mouth, he would have been put out to pasture years ago!One more thing-the scene of the three Jewish guys with the diamonds in the taxi was one of the most embarrassing, nauseating, cringey, forced scenes I've ever watched!!! Stopped watching this garbage halfway through episode 3 and reached for my laptop just to post this. So, so, sooooooooo bad!!!!!!

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.

This show has been one of the best crafted shows i have watched in a long time The crime drama theme mixed with unbelievable comedy has to be what makes this show as good as it is It is hard not to like this show!!! I am really hoping that the creators of the show decide to make a season two as i am sure plenty of people would love to watch this show for as long as possible

Why on earth name this snatch. At least try to make it your own, at least TRY to make it original. Training Day, bad. Snatch, poor. The story-line itself if fun, the acting not all that bad but it remains a cheap rip-off, unconvincing, cliché-filled and butt-ugly monster that does not honor the movie. I feel like producers and writers don't try anymore. Genius series to me now are This is Us, The night of and Big Little Lies. Drama's with real actors and real emotions. Snatch is no more than every element of the movie exaggerated. They could think of more different types/dialects, that are generally poorly portrayed. Sure, in essence its kind-of fun to watch. The no-brainer. Don't expect characters to be deep or interesting. Sex lacks, vulgar language not enough, action mediocre amounts. All in all I see this as a skeleton of the movie, an empty vessel which I wont regret not watching anymore. NEXT!
