Pax Massilia

It is another depiction of the worsening reality in France and many Western Europe's countries.

What I liked here is that the plot is not concentrated on one gang, but two and the war between them. Then you put the war the police is involved with all the consequences of the first (which all results in some good action) and on top of everything we have the bureaucracy and the corruption. Yet, for only six episodes, there was enough time to see every character's personal life's dramas, which was very nice and means there are no unnecessary scenes just for the volume, but it's all about quality.

Different characters, very good acting, I liked the soundtrack a lot and I would love to give 7.5 stars, but it isn't possible.

I am a big fan of Olivier Marchal. Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed his many movies and TV series - they rank among the best in a genre in which the French excell: crime drama. Unfortunately, Blood Coast does not live up to expectations. The plot is unimaginative, a rehash of a story told so many times before. The actors are for the most part wooden and underwhelming. The characters are universally unlikeable and make the dumbest decisions. Swearing, while expected and welcome in such a show, is just overboard and detrimental to storytelling - every conversation turns into in-your-face, profanity-laced slang mumbo jumbo. The "music" is particularly grating - very little sucks as much as French rap. And the ending feels like a slowly deflating balloon. Total miss.

One more thing. Throughout, I kept thinking that these idiots are so fortunate to live in the south of France, a real paradise, and yet they choose to live like gangstas in run down ghettos. Fools.

Blood Coast is really great! It's an action packed thriller serie that knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It just trying to entertain people with interesting crime stories and great action scenes. The director of Netflix Rogue City does incredible job at story telling crime mobs stories in Marseille, France. This serie is good entertainment for people that enjoy action thriller series. This serie will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat throughout the season. You'll want to binge all the episodes. This new serie is doing amazing storytelling set in a european country. This serie could become a success on Netflix it,s easily one of the best new action thriller series.

Superb show, gripping from start to finish. The pace never lets up from the first scenes. Fine acting from all involved. Suitably menacing villains, compromised cops, and the looming threat of bureaucracy/ internal affairs. 6 episodes - perfect, none of this never ending series nonsense. The fact that is a genre piece means we all know the basic plotlines and so no need for overly boring character exposition. Plenty of space for the viewer to fill in the gaps and round out the characters for ourselves. If only the yanks and the brits could make something half as decent without all the usual fanfare.

It was a great series on Netflix. Great story, incredible actors, music, camera, everything was a great match! I couldn't stop watching it. And I wish that it was longer! But, I'm looking forward to the Season 2.

Thanks to everyone who created the series, directors, producers, writers, actors, everyone!

Keep it up, because this series was one of the most different series, breathtaking, and brilliant series that I've seen in years!

I had this feeling after watching Breaking Bad, 24, Manifest, and other great series! So, I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for an adrenaline rush!!!
