Baptiste

Perhaps it's a little slow to begin with but there are many twists and turns and every episode leaves you with a cliffhanger. The acting is high quality and the story is gripping. Give it a go and make your own mind up.

Season 1 was awesome but season 2 I think was a complete and utter terrible unbelievable story. I had to turn it off a few episodes in.

My score is 7 for the first series and 1 for the second.

Poor Tchéky Karyo. A superb actor, charming, charismatic and oh so watchable. But even his talent could not save the pigs ear of a second series. Unlike the first series the story line of the second was just awful. The screen son's acting appalling. The writers should never work again after churning out this drivel of a script.

I wanted to stop watching halfway through episode 5/6 but had come so far I may as well finish.

It's not up to me to tell you not to bother. It's up to you to find that out for yourself. You have been warned.

This show kind of manipulates you...at some point it's like it's leading up to something great...like something awesome is building up...and then it just lets you down...

the pacing is good in some areas...in others not so much...the dialogue can be a bit bland and exhausting...also pointless...

the twists don't feel natural...the whole story feels half-baked...

i would say...find another show...this isn't really worth your time.

Baptiste is a retired French detective, who has a gift for finding people. In Season 1, he searches for a man's 'daughter' in Holland. She went missing from the Red-Light district & is also wanted by a very lethal Albanian gang. Somehow Baptiste is never afraid of these kinds of people. Stick with this series.

Season 2--an Ambassador's family goes missing whilst on vacation-- was probably 4 episodes too long with innumerable flashbacks. Disappointing, but the character Baptiste always is a pleasure to watch.
