I watched this directly after Braqueurs, another series featuring Muslim immigrants and organised crime but set in France. I have to say that Snabba Cash was superior. For a start, there was the sub plot of Leya's start up needing cash so the action was not so relentlessly set in crack dens and poor immigrant areas. There was less of the unbelievability of baddies getting killed by revolvers when they were using assault rifles. It seemed far more real.
The acting was on the ball and the settings were real. I particularly liked Alexander Abdallah as Salim whose brooding good looks infused the series.
There is scope for a second season after the events of the final episode. If it is ever made, I'll be watching it.
