Honestly, I'm excited! šŸ˜ Fast & Furious has been a guilty pleasure for years. The action sequences are over-the-top but that's what makes it fun. And Vin Diesel producing? He knows the pulse of this franchise. Can't wait to see what they do with the animated series on Netflix too! šŸ”„

I don't get the hype. The last few movies were pure nonsense - cars flying into space? Come on man šŸ™„ But maybe the series format will allow for better storytelling. Let's hope they focus on character development instead of just explosions and car crashes.

Okay but why do we need FOUR shows? šŸ¤Ø The Fast & Furious universe is cool but spreading it thin will dilute the brand. Plus, Peacock? Is that even available in India? Most of us will have to wait for Netflix or Amazon Prime to get these shows. šŸ„²

I still remember watching the first Fast & Furious in a small theatre in Bangalore back in 2001! šŸ˜­ That movie was pure gold - street racing, undercover cops, and Paul Walker's charm. Now it's become this massive empire. 7 billion dollars? Damn! Respect where it's due, even if I'm not a fan of the newer ones.

I appreciate the business strategy but this feels like overkill. šŸ˜¬ The franchise should have ended after Fast & Furious 7 as a tribute to Paul Walker. Now they're just stretching it. And creating four shows? That's so much content to produce and sustain. Let's see if they can maintain quality.
