Philharmonia

For classical music lovers this is first. A thriller with a murder victim set inside a "mean girls" Paris philharmonic orchestra. Yes I know, I know, Hitchcock got there first with The Man Who Knew Too Much. Knives out for the newly arrived conductor, and all the usual backstabbing, ego driven, one upsmanship of the musicians. Think Black Swan.The series builds a case for a "stay tuned for the next installment," but unfortunately as the series begins the journey to its whodunnit, and very melodramatic conclusion, the show has jumped it's story telling shark, as it becomes quite obvious in BIG NEON LIGHTS, whodunnit before the windup is over.

An excellent 6 parts serie as much about music then about a suspense, a thriller, with a great twist, the acting is great, the scenery are very interesting...many shot of the newest Philharmonic hall of Paris in the park La Villette, the lead actress is a partenaire we la. Comedie Francaise but graduated first from a music program as a violinist...discovering theater and a stronger passion for it...the music is of course very good, but we learn what make a good piece even better sounding, the explanation are clear, simple. The suspense plot is very well done mixing police thriller with a little mystery going on horror almost.

After suffering through a series too many of Money Heist, Line of Duty and the appalling season 3 of The Sinner this was a delight. Engrossing plot great acting and terrific music. Highly recommended

As a music lover, violin player and fan of psychological thrillers without a violent, I must admit it this was one of the best one.

I remember when I used to love French cinema and French TV. I also remember when I used to love French cuisine. Sadly though if you go to a restaurant in France nowadays you will be offered soggy chips with everything and if you watch French TV you will also get served pap. Philharmonia started out with such grand aspirations and sadly ended up after just a short while, conforming to type and being dire rubbish. Come on! You can do better than this!!!
