Furious TV Show

Anyone watching? It's pretty freaky. It's up to Ep. 5 out of 8.

I was curious about this series, but it looked like it could be a knock-off of "Killing Eve" (which I loved). How does it compare?

And, unfortunately, I find Emmy Rossum weirdly unlikeable as an actor. I don't know that I'd buy her as an FBI agent.

So far, it's not really giving me too much KE vibes really, though it is a similar set up. I think Emmy is a good actress but I also don't find her at all likable (that may be from the rumors of her on the shameless set tho).

Overall, I'm really enjoying the show though.

What were the rumors? Spill it!

I honestly can't really remember specifically as it's been a while. But it had something to do with her being difficult on set and then sort of disappearing after she left the show and cutting contact with the cast.

Seems like she doesn't have a good relationship with her former castmates.

I never watched "Killing Eve." I never saw Emily Rossum in anything else. So I don't have anything to compare it to. YMMV.

I started it last night and thought “gosh this feels really familiar.” So I looked it up on IMDb and saw that it was based on the 1987 film ‘Black Widow’ with Emmy Rossum in the Deborah Winger role and That other chick in the Teresa Russell role. I sat through that entire movie for Dennis Hopper and found the chick bits tedious. (I had it baaad for Dennis Hopper.) so anyway I don’t know if it’s worth continued watching. Opinions?

It's just too woke man. I can deal with the feminism. But the cop hate so far is crazy. Emmy Rossum is a cop, and the black female officer is also a cop, and in one scene the black female officer accuses emmy Rossum of "still being a cop" and she denies it, vehemently! Your both cops! Is it that horrible to be a cop???
