Laëtitia

This show may be really good, but I could only handle about 5 minutes of the narrator explaining every little detail. It just wasn't for me.

This is written after watching 4 episodes as seen on HBO. I have nothing against foreign films with subtitles.... most of the time. But whoever did the subtitles for this needs to improve their job.... a lot. A person speaks and the subtitles end the millisecond that the person stops talking. So if they speak a very short phrase it is no problem. But here if a person speaks using multiple sentences the subtitle doesn't last long enough to read it. Even if the speaker takes a long pause before speaking again the subtitles don't remain on screen. In addition to this the subtitles are partly written over the film images no matter how bright the background and then continued below the film image in the very black letterbox area. This makes reading the subtitles and trying to keep up with this story nearly impossible. What the hell?

Next is the acting of the two father figures and also the crazy guy involved with the last known sightings of Laetitia. All three are so incredibly over the top with their performance that it is difficult to believe. Now if the real life people were actually llke this then I am out of line and apologize. But this is something I have noticed in French cinema before - over acting even by famous French movie stars. These three actors here in Laetitia act like they are in a very large theater trying to project to the last row. But this is film/video and screaming your head off and punching furniture and hyperventilating as though you've just finished running a marathon because a little girl asks for her mother just comes off badly and unreal. As for the girls portraying the sisters - all of them - from the very young to the older girls -they are all quite good in their roles. Too bad I couldn't appreciate this more because of the terrible subtitles and exaggerated acting.

It's definitely a very good story. Raise important issues related to foster care homes, dynamics of twins, dilemma for social workers and the justice system difficult decisions about sex offenders on parole. However, the series is too long... Should have been 3 episodes, maximum 4 episodes.

The series was enjoyable and I was anxious to see what would happen. But, the end just fizzled, it left me with many questions and it felt rushed.

I'm getting so tired of having movies, series in other languages and then you have to read what's going on!! If you're going to show these in America, please have English dubbed! If others want to read, that's fine, but I'm a visual person and view what's on the screen! You can't if you are reading! Plus who ever did the subtitles really needs to be careful in timing! I don't read as a speed reader plus watch the scene in front of me!

This is a very good series! Well done! It peeks my interest and I like mysteries! But to review the characters, the lightening, story, etc... is difficult when having to read! I'm writing this after half way through the episode 2!

Ridiculous! You can afford to publish all languages when placing them into streaming services! I'm not sure I'll finish this, but the story is compelling and I may try, try, try to have the patience to read and view! Good viewing! If you do have the patience to read then view, enjoy! It's very good and worth reading the plot and where's its going!
