La paz de Marsella (Serie de TV)

It is another depiction of the worsening reality in France and many Western Europe's countries.

What I liked here is that the plot is not concentrated on one gang, but two and the war between them. Then you put the war the police is involved with all the consequences of the first (which all results in some good action) and on top of everything we have the bureaucracy and the corruption. Yet, for only six episodes, there was enough time to see every character's personal life's dramas, which was very nice and means there are no unnecessary scenes just for the volume, but it's all about quality.

Different characters, very good acting, I liked the soundtrack a lot and I would love to give 7.5 stars, but it isn't possible.

Blood Coast throws a punch, leaving you breathless and wanting more. Set against the stunning backdrop of Marseille, this French crime drama dives deep into the city's underbelly, where loyalty is fractured and the line between cops and criminals blurs.

Gripping Narrative: The story, while not groundbreaking, is tightly woven and suspenseful. You'll find yourself invested in the hunt for the elusive criminal, constantly guessing who's playing who and what their true motives are. The six-episode format keeps things brisk, avoiding the drag of unnecessary filler.

Characters with Bite: The characters are complex and morally ambiguous, which is refreshing in a genre sometimes prone to cookie-cutter figures. Captain Benamar, a haunted cop pushing the boundaries, and the ruthless drug lord Saïdi are particularly captivating. While their actions may be questionable, their motivations are compelling.

Visually Striking: Marseille shines as a character itself. The cinematography captures the city's beauty and grit with equal flair, showcasing its sun-drenched streets and hidden alleyways. The action sequences are visceral and well-choreographed, adding to the immersive experience.

Not for the Faint of Heart: Be warned, Blood Coast doesn't shy away from violence and brutality. It's a raw portrayal of the criminal underworld, complete with graphic scenes and coarse language. If you have a weak stomach, steer clear.

Overall: If you're looking for a fast-paced, character-driven crime drama with a unique European flavor, Blood Coast delivers. Be prepared for some violence, but if you can handle it, you'll be rewarded with a thrilling ride through the dark heart of Marseille.

The music score contribution adds it's own character to the series.

Blood Coast is really great! It's an action packed thriller serie that knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It just trying to entertain people with interesting crime stories and great action scenes. The director of Netflix Rogue City does incredible job at story telling crime mobs stories in Marseille, France. This serie is good entertainment for people that enjoy action thriller series. This serie will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat throughout the season. You'll want to binge all the episodes. This new serie is doing amazing storytelling set in a european country. This serie could become a success on Netflix it,s easily one of the best new action thriller series.

I don't usually watch crime/gangster television shows that are told primarily from the point of view of law enforcement. The reason is there is the usual Hollywood cliches involved in the writing. Blood coast didn't fail to do exactly that.

That problem aside, the series got off to a good start by building up what should have been a epic showdown between the villians in the series. There was a huge build up of events that left you anticipating the climax, then the writers went in other directions. This leaves me to believe they might be setting it up for another season but it derailed what they had already done. Worth watching but not on repeat.

It didn't met my expectations. I thought the high vote of actually 7/10 on IMDb would be worth a watch. The first episodes looked promisingly but the next went slowly downhill until I stopped it. I mean the story is not full of.turns and plots and was just turning in the circle without any meaningful actions.

The best drug series so far are the Italian ones: Suburraeterna and Gomorrah. You will note quickly the difference.

Finally it became boring and a sleeper. Then there were some wholes that was not logic and that I cannot spoil here further.

For all these reasons i vote 5/10.

It is too overrated here.
