First off I am French so I watched it in French , for english speaking people the experience might be totally different.

Plot / story are good without a doubt , mysterious and well laced.

Acting and dialogues are bad , plain and simple bad , once again i watched in french so in english may be the dubbing or not understanding what they say and reading the subs make it better than in original version.

I enjoyed aspects of this series, but felt there were just too many things going on, too many layers, plots and sub-plots, some relevant and some not. Developing every character in detail, when there are already other important threads to sustain in the story web, can detract from the story, in my opinion. Just too much going on for me to score this higher.

Disparu À Jamais (or Gone For Good for the English title is a French mini-series (five episodes) based on a novel from Harlan Coben. The last series I watched based on a novel from Harlan Coben was the German series The Woods, another one that was worth watching. Sometimes his stories are a bit far fetched, with all kind of characters that know each other, when the chances that that would happen in real life are pretty slim. So was it also in Disparu À Jamais. Nevertheless the episodes are full of mysteries which keeps you guessing and interested. Decent acting from the entire cast, although some were better than others. It's not always easy to follow so you have to be concentrated. A good mini-series that you can finish in a couple days.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews! The series is a very good crime and mystery thriller. The actors did their part very well. Harlen Kobens The Innocent is my most favourite and now this one is my second favourite! Mystery lovers should give it a try!

An ok attempt at drama and intrigue but filled with unrelateable, unlikeable characters. The story way too complex and try-hard. Setting is great in Nice.

Far too many contrived relationships and situations. I haven't read the book but I would guess that it is 100x better than this series.

That said, an ok diversion in times of Covid.
