I have watched the original trilogy a couple of times, which I found to be crime-movie masterpieces, so my expectations for the new Netflix show were high.
Sadly I came away a little disappointed. The premise is okay: a woman with ties to the criminal underwold that she wants nothing to do with, tries to climb the corporate ladder. Things happening in the first episode set off a chain of events, and soon she finds herself in over her head.
Where the movie trilogy left an emotional impact where you either hated or loved the characters who constantly evolved for each movie, most characters here are pretty much cardboard characters.
The original trilogy has amazing side stories, but here... there's almost none of that, and they are underdeveloped. Like the relationship that the protaganist has with one of her female co-workers, who she ends up screwing over.
If you do like SNABBA CASH, and find yourself making it through all episodes, do yourself a favor and watch the original trilogy.
