Critical Reception
Critics such as Katey Rich from Ready Steady Cut have praised the series for its “solid action and a few decent twists” but also observed that it was “saddled by an extensive mythology and a fairly functional narrative style.” Nayha Noor from Heaven of Horror said: “If you want great action with a good story based around crime, thriller, and mystery, then surely this show would suit your interests.”
On the contrary, Thomas Bacon from Decider however feels that Furies “is not all that complex, but has lots of action, and a story that is easy to comprehend.” Leisure Byte on the other hand pointed out that while the series offers “an engaging revenge drama and deep gangster plot, some imperfections prevent it from shining as bright as it ought to.”
Finally, Midgard Times showered praises on the show stating, “From covert operations to the heart pounding chase scenes in the alleys of Paris, now thanks to Furies, the audience is kept on their toes even till the last scene.”
