Chaque fois qu'on s'est aimés

... when this production works at all it's because of the actors... they're an odd-lot but combine to make an interesting 1st series... of course the two leads do most of all the heavy lifting, and for the most part they both do commendable work... it's not 'Normal-People' quality, yet an overall IMDb reviewer rating of six-something is about right

... the on-off-relationship comparison is an obvious one... it is in the writing where the main differences lay... Normal People is a much quieter-more-subtle work... here there's a lot more flash, but less substance... it's enjoyable viewing for a time, but can get tiresome as reviewers have pointed out... does there have to be a season two.. not as many would be rooting for one as if were NP.

I kept seeing this all over Netflix so I decided to give it a try. I was hooked after the first episode. I would defiantly give this a watch if I were you. The story is a fated to be together plot but it keeps you wondering what will happen next. I give it a solid 8/10. (I don't have a 600 word review for this show so I'm going to space until I reach the limit so I can post it.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

From the first episode to the second, approximately 18 years go by in the calendar. Not in the characters' faces or bodies. This is totally ridiculous and amateurish. This is taking the audience for fools and simply not caring about the story or the product. And, let's be honest, if the creators themselves have so little respect and care for their own creation, why should then we have it? The story itself is rather mediocre although I must admit that Georgina Amorós steals the spotlight. Some of the other characters are too much of a cliché and bring nothing new or worthy. It is just passable if you have low expectations.

I watched all 8 episodes and it just spiraled downhill with each progressive show. While the actors are solid, the script and direction are amateurish, repetitive, and boring. Over the span of 20 years, the lead characters never grow, learn, or develop. We are suppose to relate to two people that are hopelessly self-destructive and toxic to one another through their own selfishness.

Their are two serious failures: Time Jumps - The series randomly flashes between 2004 and 2022, going from 20 year old college students to 40 year olds who lives have stagnated. This problem is there was no effort to make the actors look older. The 20 something actors look exactly that. The fact that, at 40, they are still in the same place in their lives is too much a stretch.

Mental Illness - The series never addresses it but it's clear the female lead suffers from several disorders. The male lead identifies with anxiety and depression. Making a show about their conditions while trying to form relationships would have been more interesting. It would have also solved several gaps and plot points that that exists thought out the series.

Honestly I liked the first episode but as the story went on I got bored of the main characters. Two persons having a big ego and in the same time always feeling insecure and needy for approval. Wanting to be the center of attention everytime despite who gets hurt. How is this story supposed to be about love? The story starts in 2004 and continues in 2022 and they are the same 20 year-olds. Like a day hasn't gone by. In many times I ended up angry-dissapointed and bored at the same time. I enjoyed more the characters of Himena and Da.

I thought to stop watching the show but I was curious to see where all this is going. Well surprise surprise..nowhere!
