The Fast & Furious franchise is known for its ridiculous action sequences and borderline superhuman characters, all of which are perfectly embodied by Dom Toretto. As the overarching protagonist of the series, Vin Diesel's character has pulled off some of the most insane acts of heroism, often defying physics alongside his crew to save the day.

These over-the-top moments frequently draw heavy criticism, with people pointing to more realistic, car-based action movies as better alternatives to Fast & Furious. However, this commitment to being entertaining, no matter how wacky the films get, is part of the charm, explaining why Fast & Furious remains so popular over two decades after its inception.

As a result, Fast & Furious 11 marking the end of an era feels bittersweet, as whether you love or hate the blockbuster franchise, it undoubtedly had an impact on cinema. Even though the story is set to continue through spinoffs, it's hard to imagine we'll see much more of Dom Toretto, who has left an unforgettable legacy.

Going from a street racer to taking on international criminal organizations has been quite the journey, and Dom's on-screen feats are nothing short of memorable. Despite everything he's achieved though, Fast & Furious Spy Racers makes his accomplishments look tame, as this TV spinoff is even more out there than the movies.

The 52-episode animated show focuses on Dom's younger cousin Tony and his crew becoming part of a spy agency. As expected, this leads to some truly wild missions full of action, with Spy Racers breaking many Fast & Furious rules throughout its six seasons, cementing this as the craziest entry in the franchise so far.

Fast & Furious Spy Racers Is Even Less Realistic Than The Movie Series

Considering the Fast & Furious movies have seen its heroes drive from one skyscraper to another and take a car into space, it's hard to believe anything could get more over-the-top, yet Spy Racers manages it. The protagonists aren't just regular car enthusiasts who butt heads with villainous organizations. Instead, they are official spies, albeit novices.

Still, this premise allows for some truly outrageous adventures, with season 1 starting fairly tame by the rest of the show's standards, which involves stealing cars, skeleton keys, and trying to avenge the death of family members. Even the opening scene kicks off with a duo hijacking a yacht to steal a car, really setting the tone.

Things only get more bizarre in season 2, as mind control and prison breaks are just some of the shenanigans facing this young crew. As the story progresses, we also see villains with remote-controlled weather satellites, giant robots that swallow people whole, and the crew dropping an explosive into a volcano before fleeing the blast.

Even some iconic sequences from the movies are recreated in the TV series, showing just how action-packed it is. With the project aimed at a slightly younger demographic, it has the license to get silly and unrealistic, even more so than the film series, yet it still contains some mature topics along the way.

All six seasons of Fast & Furious Spy Racers are available to watch on Netflix.

The show certainly has its flaws, but considering it lasted six seasons, Fast & Furious Spy Racers was a Netflix success that leaned into the extravagant elements that make the franchise so fun. So, if you thought Dom was Fast & Furious' most superhuman hero, it might be time to check out what Tony and his crew have been up to.

Spy Racers Isn't Fast & Furious' Only Spinoff

While Fast & Furious Spy Racers is the franchise's first taste of television, it isn't the only spinoff, and more are reportedly on the way. Back in 2019, Hobbs & Shaw became the first Fast & Furious entry to not be an official part of the main movie series, focusing on the two titular characters facing off against a mysterious organization called Eteon.

The project gave us a deeper look into Deckard Shaw and Luke Hobbs' families, both of which played a big role in the story. Likewise, it saw major stars such as Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Hart, and Eiza González make their franchise debuts, offering serious star power and some fun potential returns for the future.

Financially and critically, it was a success, once again leaning into those usual chaotic traits that have worked for Fast & Furious so well. Interestingly though, the saga will be returning to TV via a show on Peacock, and while we don't know many details about what the plot will be, there are plenty of ways the series can go.

Alongside having some key Fast & Furious characters return for the televised spinoff, it's a chance to introduce some new faces, who will get a big boost appearing alongside mainstream stars. Other spinoff projects have reportedly been considered as well, but with Fast & Furious 11's fate still up in the air, the future of the franchise remains unknown.

Whatever the case, it's hard to imagine an IP that has made so much money ending any time soon, and Spy Racers proved there are other ways to tell Fast & Furious stories. Therefore, regardless of whether it's on the big screen or TV, this epic saga deserves to continue, preferably with all the ridiculous antics fans have learned to embrace.
