Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

davesimpson-25245 This quasi-french-british drama is entertaining enough but is ultimately yet another example of a show squandering its potential to go from being a "good" tv show to a "great" one. The premise starts out well: a professional crime-scene cleaner (Jean Bastiere) is forced to work for the London mob after falling into serious financial trouble, giving the mob essentially the invaluable ability to erase any trace of a murder. However, Jean's unwavering moral compass means he is fundamentally against this from the get-go and it only takes a few episodes before he's had enough and begins looking for a way out. A far more intriguing direction to take the plot would have been a more "Breaking Bad"-esque scenario in which Jean comes to accept and eventually revel in his new found second life and the viewer gets to enjoy all the unpredictable consequences that follow. Alas, it was not to be, and what we are left with is a mildly compelling but predictable ending.

bluesunflowersb My only regret is that I can't be a newbie and watch this series all over again from scratch, that's how much pleasure it gave me. What terrific casting. What great writing. You never know what's going to happen next. Wonderful.One thing that I loved the most was the brother "Martin." He looks much like Robert Mitchum looked in Cape Fear, if R. M. had been much more hirsute. What a fun "bad boy" character. Denis Ménochet (Martin) exudes the same combination of quiet menace, boxer boy body and charisma as Mitchum had, too. Lots more of a softy at heart, though. A very good brother to have around, if only to make your life a lot more exciting. A real treat to watch.The whole series is just one big luscious bag of tasty fun. I envy those of you who will be seeing it for the first time. Enjoy.

henry-69520 Just finished watching this series on Netflix and loved it. Can't wait for series 2.I watch films and dramas to be entertained and realise they are fiction not reality so a bit of artistic licence is given. Were there elements which made me question the script? Yes, the daughter possibly would be more believable were she 14 or 15 in the script not 13 but as the father of a 15 year old daughter myself maybe I'm over sensitive in this area.I too wouldn't have minded more foreign language where appropriate accompanied by subtitles but a mass audience might disagree.I found the characters fully believable and immersed myself in their lives. There was enough subtlety in the acting to allow degrees of hatred, sympathy or identification. The storyline kept me engaged throughout the episodes filling in gaps as it went along.For me it was a no question 10/10Watched it without knowing anything about the series in advance.

david-84625 I watched the first 6 episodes. The first two were intriguing and I thought the premise had a lot of possibilities. Good acting (except for the two French guys) reasonable dialogue, bit 'Hollywood' production. But watching almost an entire episode of the two supposedly nasty protagonists hammering away at each other while discussing the meaning of life, that was just too much ... too silly, too unrealistic, totally absurd. Who writes this crap ? It's like another series that came out a couple of years ago called The American. Great premise, great opening, then it just petered out with absurdities. I'm not going to bother with the rest of the series. Waste of time.
