Élu entre tous

This was an amateurish attempt from beginning to end. Actors didn't know how to play their pats, dialog was questionable and the story made little, if any, sense. The worst of the bunch was the female doctor. She smiled when she should have been looking serious and so on. Only reason I watched it to the bitter end was that it was less that 6 hours long. Next time though I turn it off immediately. NFLX needs to send a crew to Brazil and teach these guys how to make movies. In more expert hands this probably could have been a decent effort.

Premise: strong female lead character (a doctor) thinks she knows better than anyone else. Doesn't listen to her colleagues and inevitably brings chaos to a small commune.

But

It's actually quite entertaining. The acting is good. The setting, camera work, dialogue is good. They throw in a few characters that you instantly dislike. There's a few subplots going on that hold your interest and finally it shows up the fragility of the human condition even in remote spots that don't get visitors and how everything falls apart when strangers turn up. Binge watch season 2 next.

Bunch of nonsense but it keeps you entertained..just finished watching all 12 episodes, not bad although very bizarre.. whoever created this must be on crack but good suspense.. props for entertaining me with this nonsense

The lead character is incredibly annoying. The entire first episode is her telling everyone else how stupid everyone else is and that everyone regardless of knowing the situation must defer to her. Now on its own that's fine but time and time again she and her views on the people and village are continually shown to be wrong. She is the only thing that will stop me from watching. I get she's a doctor and the savior complex is inbred in most television doctors but the level of her superiority to everyone else continues even after everything she thinks is disproved she continues. But the worst of it is she is held in a building with a potential mob death she still gives the people holding her orders insisting she is still in charge. I know this is a tv show and she's a character in the show but I can't stand this show with her in it.

The first few episodes were really suspenseful to watch, but it eventually becomes over-done with all of the crazy things that happen. I am giving this a 5, because the acting is very good. The writing could have been worked on a bit more to cut out some of the fluff and get to the point. It just feels like you experience climax after climax, but then nothing ever happens except a lot more of the same old thing. I am on the last episode....so glad I am finally there!
