My inbox is filling up with people asking in what order they should watch “Ferry” and “Undercover.” I’ve been saying either way, but now I’ve reconsidered, you should watch in order of release…because “Undercover” grips you right from the beginning and “Ferry” the movie is uneven and “Ferry: The Series” takes a couple of episodes to go gonzo, the first is just exposition, set-up.<\/p>\n
So, start off by watching the three seasons of “Undercover.” It’s gripping nearly immediately. It will ring your bell.<\/p>\n
And after these three seasons, which are ultimately a complete story, with nothing left to tell, they made the movie, “Ferry.”<\/p>\n
“Ferry” explains where Ferry Bouman came from, what made him who he is, including a focus on his family. It’s key backstory, very interesting if you watched “Undercover,” but not completely satisfying, maybe because it’s a movie and therefore everything is compressed.<\/p>\n
Then watch “Ferry: The Series.” Which picks up right after “Ferry” the movie. Don’t watch “Ferry: The Series” without first watching the movie, it’s key.<\/p>\n
And, you could watch in chronological order, with “Ferry” the movie, “Ferry: The Series” and then “Undercover,” kind of like what Coppola ultimately did with “The Godfather,” but in truth there’s still a hole between the end of “Ferry: The Series” and “Undercover,” allowing for another season of “Ferry: The Series,” if not more than one.<\/p>\n
Once again, they are all on Netflix.<\/p>\n
