Syndrome E on somersault: “Dark as you want”, “Unexpected”… What does the press think about the TV series with Vincent Elbaz?

Franck Charcot and Lucy Henebel explore the chilling, even nightmarish world of mind manipulation and neuroscience when five corpses are found horribly mutilated. At the same time, children are mysteriously disappearing, and an old movie from the 60s causes strange and dangerous behavior in those who watch it.

E-syndromeDirected by Laure de Butler (La Promesse) and adapted from the novel of the same name by Franck Tilleys by screenwriter Mathieu Misoff (Zone Blanche).

With Vincent Elbaz, Jennifer Decker, Cool You, Berenger Crieff, Emmanuelle Beart, Dominique Blanc, Michel Bernier, Sammy Segir…

Available in full on Salto (6×52′) and soon to be broadcast on TF1

According to Le Parisien:

“On the border between thriller and science fiction, this well-crafted series will make fans break out into a cold sweat.” (…) director Laure de Butler (“The Condition”) has a sense of rhythm and masters the art of playing. Vincent Elbaz is amazing as a cop who is anesthetized by the personal drama that has destroyed his life.” 4.5/5

According to The Sunday Journal:

“The tandem works perfectly for this exploration of the edge of fantasy, which travels through Morocco and Canada. The staging of Laure de Butler (La Promise) is exquisite. We hope this is only the beginning, as the duo will appear in six games. More novels by Tilleys.” 4/5

According to Télé Loisirs:

“With both unexpected and skillfully delivered twists, this series captivates us from start to finish with its intriguing neurological mysteries. Optionally, it’s an impressive cast that carries this fiction.” 4/5

According to Telerama:

“Between mind manipulation, baby guinea pigs and mad scientists, a six-episode adaptation follows the successful horror thriller of Frank Tilley’s eighth novel on the flipping platform.” 4/5

According to Numerama:

“With Syndrome E, TF1 finally dares to enter the field of genre series and it’s about time! The series suffers from the classicism that is often problematic in French productions, but manages to escape it thanks to ambitious production and a truly successful horror atmosphere.” 3.5/5

According to TV Star:

“Successful Adaptation with Careful Staging.” 3.5/5
