Vortex

It's not a 10/10 the way Dark is, but let's face it, most series involving altering past are a disaster.

This one does a pretty good job at telling the story, in a touching way, and it also presents beautifully the dilemmas you'd be facing if you were able to alter the past.

It's not going to be a series I will often think about, but I was satisfied with everything regarding it, the actors, the implementation of an idea, the length of the series. They got everything in the right dosage.

There will have to be some suspension of disbelief involved, as the movie does not get into technical details about how the event occurred, but that was just fine. I prefer a movie that says "It just happened" rather than trying to stupidly explain something that cannot be explained.

Very nice TV show with just 6 episodes that, if you have the time, worth the shot.

It is sci fi but nothing too flashy or exagerated. There is some "new tech" and some time travelling/vortex, something that Im particularly fan of.

The caracthers are well developed and the pace of the show is quite nice too.

Despite I guessed who is the killer (thats something that, unfourtunately, is happing many times with me when Im watching a mistery movie/tv show) the plot is well written.

Furthermore you will find some good actors that composes a diversified cast, some of them well known, even if you are not particularly an expert in french cinema or tv.

A window to the past magically opens, and a police commander sees an opportunity to save his wife who died a few days before her accident.

Thanks to the appearance of this "Vortex", he interacts with her to change history, even if it means facing unexpected consequences.

The actors are persuasives and we face human situations that lead us to reflect on several questions: can we change the course of history ? Is this right ? Is this moral? Should we do it?

The characters are touching, moving and their story complex, we quickly get attached to them and we wonder at the end of an episode what will be the next one.

I highly recommend it to science fiction fans !

I gave this series a 10 because the storyline just blew me away. Wow! Talk about creative. It combines virtual reality with reality of the past. As the story progresses things that change in the past have significant consequences in the futures. The acting is really first-rate and the series is one that you will want to binge watch, it is that good. It has a lot of interesting characters and while serious can be very humorous at times. You will be hard pressed to find a more interesting story than this. Whether you are a Sci-Fi fan or looking for a drama, this is one show that will hold your interest. Well worth watching.

The show was surprisingly good and did exceed my expectations. I did not expect to be binge through all the episodes available this fast (for those in France, the episodes are accessible on the France TV online platform, otherwise the series can be viewed on mondays evenings i think)

The story was itself was gripping, the stakes were high and the actors were very good in portraying their dilemmas. Camille Claris' performance was especially breathtaking - her embodiment of pain, anguish and terror throughout the series felt very real and unforced (then again she is trying to cheat fate and prevent her own death!).

And that ending was chef's kiss. Hope this gets a second season, but if not the conclusion to this was a satisfying one.

Some issues remain on how the VR time "jumping" works, but then again this is a work of fiction and should be enjoyed as such. Overall great job !
