John Doyle Globe and Mail 09/15/2022
It’s a wild ride from a teenager’s lark to a rather big crime empire. Smart and very engaging, it provides a novel spin on high-school life. Go to Full Review Chris Vognar San Francisco Chronicle 08/31/2022

THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie 07/17/2024 Fakes is a pretty entertaining show with an original plot. Honestly this group of producers did a stellar job casting, both actresses are fresh faced and actually look like real people. It's a midranged ensemble cast that has absurdly good chemistry. Although the storylines can be slow at times, the show's generally pretty interesting. Just a notch below appointment TV. See more Mike C @RT52984891 06/17/2023 Farzi is pretty gripping as a crime series and has great coming into adulthood story to it. But mores, it has a dark comedic edge to it and the cinematography is wonderful. Very quickly paced and keeps one wholly engaged for the season. See more Asher E @RT64618594 11/03/2022 oh my god it's so corny it's honestly kinda funny. the actors have no idea what they're talking about and everything's pretty stereotyped but that's netflix See more Justine B @RT63341174 09/25/2022 A must see! The pacing is absolutely amazing, you never get bored and you get to see the events from multiple povs. The characters are great, very funny and relatable. I absolutely can't wait for season 2. Really hoping it gets renewed by Netflix cause I want to see more!! See more Read all reviews
