Missing Lisa

EN: I decided to give GR5 a go since I also enjoy long distance trekking and hoped it would remind me of my past hikes on the Caminos in Spain the Via Transilvanica or various UK trails. The overall quality was decent with good acting and a solid plot. Violet Braeckman was especially amazing in her role. The ending felt a bit strange though as it left some questions unanswered and Lisa seemed to be hiding things that happened to her on the trail. The scenery was stunning throughout especially in the Alps which really made me dream about doing the GR5 myself one day if time allows. It was an enjoyable watch that brought back a few trail memories.

I agree, this is excellent television and deserves the attention of those who did not see it. Great nature and views, interesting story, intriguing, exciting, good cast, ... Me and my friends, collegues, family, .... were very enthousiastic about this! Do watch this, if you didn't see it!

I don't really understand the bad reviews here. Granted, the side-stories (the different dangerous encounters), are maybe a little bit over the top but for the rest this series is a masterpiece. Beautifully filmed, the music is great and it's all about intense real feelings: the longing for adventure, feeling trapped in normal life, prejudging, extreme and raw grieve, sorrow, the impact of lies and the impact of having the feeling to have no roots at all. About friendship, complex and forbidden love, mortality and killed innocence. About trauma and loneliness. And even about honest feelings about the complexity of having children (not all sunshine, not at all).

Maybe it's because I recognize a lot that I like it, but it's certainly not as a bad as sometimes written here. Also the GR5 is a character and a vocation to the beauty of European nature.

It touched me and I want to see it again.

Flemish tv produced more than a few engaging series over the last 10 years. This isn't one of them. Very poor writing, reinforced by very poor acting. Unrealistic story. Very unrealistic and unprofound representation of a returning Syrian fighter. The whole plot mystery is entirely uncovered in the last episode, but makes zero sense. The beautiful landscape shots aren't enough to salvage this absolute mess.

A lot of ridiculous plot twist, only topped by an ending that makes zero sense, but some nice locations.
