Beau Séjour

I really, REALLY, enjoyed this series (even though I had to use subtitles, so I know some feeling was lost in translation). I had heard nothing of it and grew really attached to some of the characters and REALLY hated a couple of others. Such investment and attachment to characters tells me that the actors were doing something right. Kudos to the Actors, writers and everyone who took part in this series. Great job and hope to see more like it!!! I give it an 8 out of 10!

From the USA, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It sucked me in more than I thought, especially for a somewhat slow burner. I was afraid it would be another Netflix series that just fizzled after a few episodes, but this did not disappoint. If you enjoy a dark mystery and a night in, check out this show.

To the people who keep writing reviews complaining of English dubbing, you can literally select the original audio track and put on subtitles! There is no way I would have ever watched it with dubbing.

This was recommended by the weekly New York Times "What to Watch" column. And I have mostly enjoyed their picks. I like mysteries and the twist of this one - the murder victim's ghost tries to solve her own murder - was intriguing. I found it totally absorbing. I have never been to Belgium so was fascinated by the culture, architecture, etc. The theme music grabbed me and the atmosphere of the production got to me as well. I pride myself on predicting outcomes of murder mysteries, but this one totally eluded me. I really like being surprised like that. I found the ending very moving. Would love to see more from the group that made this.

These Belgian series are a great surprise. The first parts let me doubt if I have made a good choice on Netflix. But then the story and the murder mystery began really to start. The characters have been well developed and this thriller took me and my wife on a nonstop hell ride. Fact is that every actor delivered a top performance and finally it was a very convincing and breath taking countdown. Kato was very special, she was so nice. At the end I had even tears. Don't miss it, see it just as a movie and don't ask yourself too much about. In this way it will work and satisfy your expectations. 8/10.

Beau Sejour is a fine piece of dark Drama, interesting enough to keep the attention of those who enjoy a nice tale of unfortunate events, slowly unfolding.

• (+) It has an interesting screenplay, twists and turns completed with very good attention to details.
• (+) It has very good acting from the cast with show of emotions a la European, set in a small town, each one harboring his/her dark little secrets.
• (+) It has a very nice opening sequence completed with a suiting and caressing song.
• (+) The music throughout is light and fitting.
• (-) It shows physical capabilities and interactions for the main protagonist, way beyond logic and acceptance for a serious Mystery Drama show. (Its weakest point IMO)

A somewhat underestimated series, too good to pass under the radar and having 37 reviews only!

Hope more new people find about it and enjoy it as much as I did.
