Synopsis:

In this high-octane TV drama, Dominic Toretto, a street racing legend, becomes entangled in a web of crime, unaware that LAPD officer Brian O'Conner is infiltrating his crew to investigate a string of hijackings. Meanwhile, high school student Ben and trouble-seeker Daric delve into petty crime, crossing paths with the adrenaline-fueled world of street racing. As Brian continues his undercover work in Miami, forming new alliances and targeting a powerful drug dealer, Dominic is forced out of hiding after a loved one's murder, leading to a tense reunion. The series explores the intricate connections between the characters as they navigate a world where speed, crime, and justice collide, culminating in a high-stakes mission in the Dominican Republic.

Intentions:

In 2023 I finally got around to watching Hobbs & Shaw, F9: The Fast Saga and Fast X. I already knew the timeline/continuity was terrible in this franchise and these movies just reinforced that thinking. I also found out my best friends had never seen any of the films and didn't want to start because the commitment was too overwhelming. So I decided to edit the franchise into a TV series that fixes the continuity and also makes it more palatable to new viewers.

Change List:

Custom title sequence for every episode. Episode 1: The Fast and the Furious Added the opening sequence from F9 and recolored. Trimmed the start of The Fast and the Furious and added a “12 Years Later” title card. Removed Vince saying “f*ggot.” Cut after Dom and Brian get home. Minor color corrections. Extended the song “Area Codes” from the background into the credits. Episode 2: The Fast and the Furious Cut after Brian talks to Tanner Minor color corrections. Added similar music to what plays at the end (Cyberpunk 2077 credit music) to extend into the credits. Episode 3: The Fast and the Furious Minor color corrections. Cut out the post credit scene.
