I know many fans were wondering what direction the series would take next considering how furious 7 felt like a swan song to the franchise considering that Paul Walker passed away when that that movie was filming and his character was retired. However things have changed when Dom meets a woman named cipher played wonderfully by Charlize Theron who happens to be the first major female villain in the series to betray his crew when he discovers a son he didn't know about. I will say one of the best parts of the film is the car chase sequence in New York. Helen mirren has a cameo appearance as the mother of deckard and Owen Shaw which was nice to see.
