Greetings from the other side. I believe that Fast 5 was their best movie, and since then, each new movie becomes worse.
However, I watch this series because I enjoy the fun action scenes, and I like the cast of characters.
If you think back to the first movie, these guys were basically just street racers that were also thieves. At some point, they all recieved gifts from the gods. They all suddenly became master-level fighters and Tej became a genius computer hacker. It's funny that the one women in this movie started talking some fancy car talk, and when Tej looked at her, she says "Yeah, I know stuff now". She received the same instant upgrades the others did, hehe.
I have liked Jason Mamoa since Stargate Atlantis, but I hated his performance in this movie. It's hard to make a guy appear scary when he acts all "Light in the loafers". He should have played it straight. He's a big menacing dude, and looks intimidating as hell, but not when he talks like a teenage girl.
They also need to stop bringing dead people back to life. They already have insane plot armor, so if death means nothing, then why watch the movie?
Finally, we all know they are a "Family", since we've been told this over 100 times by now, so dial that back. Oh, and try to keep the stunts within the realm of possibility. It's ok to have a one in a million chance to accomplish the stunts, but please stop the impossible ones.
Other then that, turn off the brain and enjoy the crazy action.

Greetings from the other side. Many people love everything Taylor Sheridan does, but I only care for about half of his shows. I liked Yellowstone for the first 3 or 4 seasons, The Mayor of Kingstown, Telsa King, and now this show as well.
Billy Bob Thorton totally makes this show. The other actors are good, but Billy Bob is great. There is something hypnotic about his southern drawl and speech patterns.
The writing is terrific. I don't care that they sexualize a pretend 17 year old. Trust me, there are 17 year old girls out there that sexualize themselves. Just go on youtube.
It's strange that nobody would care if it was a 17 year old boy being sexualized.
However, that's not what makes this show great. It's the writing and acting that makes this show so good. I love the realism and they show just how dangerous working the patch can be. They show injuries and even death.
There is even a side story about the drug trade in that area, which is also very dangerous.
I highly recommend this show, regardless of wheather you are a fan of Sheridens or not.
