According to Sofino (4.5/5)

“A great series with a very talented cast. It’s not all black and all white, on the contrary, the characters have their share of shadow and light, and the relationship is much more complicated than it seems. The fact that it’s a true story really adds to it. Useful and necessary, everyone should see it.“

According to Lorette Mallard (5/5)

“An exceptional series that explores all the hot topics with an authenticity that is sometimes a little uncomfortable, which makes the episode better. Humor, sincerity, no care on the part of either the actor or the audience, which leads to a very good analysis of the secrets of the human soul. well done…“

by Mélany T (4.5/5)

Viewer rating: 3.4/5

“Exceptional. I’m only on the third episode of the original version, but this true and dramatic story is beautifully shot and acted. As good as Anatomy of the Fall. Bravo.”

According to Florian N. (3/5):

“Like many news stories in this vein, this sinister story has the merit of keeping viewers on their toes (at least long enough to see the end of the series).

On the other hand, repeatedly observing the level of acting in Spanish TV series that reminds me of Asian movies and TV series. Some unnecessary or implausible dialogues, hyper exaggerated gestures. It may seem trivial, but it personally ruined the experience for me.”

According to Me Guedo Lawyer (4/5):

“What a suspense and what a puzzle!! The actors are really good at playing difficult roles. It’s worth watching to devour the series in one go. And are they really guilty at the end?”

According to Hikki D. (4/5)

“I really liked this series. The actors are good. Lots of twists. I didn’t see the end.“

According to Stephen D (1/5)

“Nothing works in this series, where the situations and dialogues are at the level of acting of the actors. It would easily go through a series of terrestrial channels… Neither the presentation of the issues nor the relationship between the characters makes us want to get into it.“

According to Matilda 2917 (4/5)

“I do not understand those who criticize this series harshly: will it be fun to criticize a French series? The plot is well developed, there is no break. The characters are great and complex. Vercore’s landscapes add mystery to the story. It’s a good series that you can watch all at once and never get bored.“

“Pretty bland, some action scenes would be nice. Great cast, I hope the show carries through. Doug gets better and better every episode. We see these two guys drift. They have a ticking time bomb. You can feel the desperation in Doug’s eyes.”

Original soundtrack with French music. Too bad we don’t know what happens to Billy’s sisters in the end. The policeman, annoying with his curly Merlant eyes, did not know how to comfort others at all, preferring to remain silent. In short, I thought I didn’t watch it to the end, but I caught it at the end.”
