Ares

Tonight my wife and and I watched four episodes. My wife was truly surprised by the atmosphere of the serie. The acting and dialogues could be better, but I love the way it is filmed. Great job so far!

The first dutch netflix original disappointed me. I watched it in two days. Starts nice, family in the Bijlmer, boyfriend with the surname of Six (very famous family in dutch history), using Rijksmuseum / Nachtwacht as a decor. But along the way storyline develops not very understandable. Their should be an idea of why the Netherlands grew so powerful in the Golden Century and stayed that way. But the present with the student body Ares doesn't reveal a real storyline. The acting is not to bad (Hans Kesting is a great actor) but the whispering and to many too dark scenes are making it hard to follow sometimes...

#personalrecommendation #giveitago 8 episodes each approx 30mins

I liked Ares Many people didn't but I am not many people now am i?😂

Ares to me is like something that an Ari aster fan or ari aster's assistant would write and direct but it wasn't and hence the irritation caused by the poor screenplay that looks like it lost a few page😂

It's flawed and the screenplay is not detailed.

It's also a little bit on the slow paced side.

I was sold to the show in the opening scene itself but the rest of ep 1 was meh...but from ep2 till 7.... I was enjoying the show so much tbh I was in love with the environment The eeriness the mystery the characters everything was intriguing to me Although i must say....there is not a single character in this show that you will love...or care for except maybe one or two supporting characters.

It's a good show imo....a lil bit underrated again imo seeing the bad reviews it's getting.

And I can't say I was satisfied I mean the premise was good The acting was okay The cinematography is appreciable The bgm is good and well suited

But it doesn't explain stuff Thats the main and only issue I have with this show But I have to say that the last episode was fire and it indeed did some explaination and let us understand what's happening to an extent but still lots left to answer.

The climax is the highlight for me

But it delivers....at least for me it did....but if it doesn't have a second season then I will end up saying the opposite of what I have said about this show😌😉

But in my personal opinion Ares is one horror thriller series that isn't a must watch but definitely a good watch.

It's definitely not perfect but some of the scenes make it worthwhile. the ending especially left me speechless.

I also dont know why this is getting some horrible reviews. Dutch like northern Germans are quiet people who don't over embellish. I found I was brought into the story and knew all the characters. This is not a slasher film but builds to important climaxes. Dubbing was done exceptionally well!
