Just watched the first "The Fast and the Furious" movie all the way through for the first time

 I could not believe the subtext/chemistry between Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker, RIP). And I couldn't believe it was unintentional. Holy geez, I don't think Hot Fuzz was as slashy. 

I loved Brian, Dom, Dom/Brian, Mia, and the whole Toretto gang. I was so sad when Jesse died. Johnny Tran was in the movie surprisingly little; his plot was more like a subplot and an excuse to have more interaction between Brian and Dom rather than a central aspect.

And I loved those two together. Brian rescuing Dom from the cops, Dom inviting Brian into his house, garage, and his life, Dom taking up for Brian in from of his gang, Brian throwing away his career for Dom . . . LOVED IT. And now I'm already planning to see The Fate of the Furious.

That series is crack. I never took it seriously until about the 4th or 5th sequel when I noticed that the production value started improving and the car chases and fighting became really top-notch. Cast additions from the past few years have been great.

NOSSSSS.

"That snowman's got enough nos to blow himself sky high!"

From what I've seen of the series so far, you're dead on target with your description of the series, but God love 'em for it. Walker and Diesel work so well together . . . in so many ways.
