12 Worst TV Shows Of 2017 (So Far)

5. Snatch

Snatch Rupert Grint
Crackle

A TV series based on Guy Ritchie's crime caper classic starring Rupert Grint has never been on most people's list of priorities, especially one produced by Crackle, and shockingly, Snatch was mostly a bust.

Try though it did, this show couldn't hold a candle to Ritchie at his level best, and felt like a pale, tedious imitation throughout. The series forgot that a lot of Ritchie's snazzy directorial bells and whistles from the original have since been run firmly into the ground, and so in 2017 they played as boring and unimaginative.

To his credit, Grint is actually rather decent here in an against-type part, though like everyone else, he's desperately in need of sharper material. It ultimately doesn't matter, though, as Crackle has already commissioned a second season. Have mercy...
