L'accident

The only positive I can take away from this is the basic plot line of organized black market fake (China made) knockoffs of big name designer shoes, clothes, handbags (real thing can cost $20,000+), medicines. The major negatives were poorly researched how this crime works from production, to transportation, to syndicates, to local distribution. Poorly displayed police forensics (Large syringe into the victim's neck not seen?), and police investigation. Lots of stupid, if not unrealistic scenarios. Acting - poor, at best. Denouement was the typical least expected are guilty, and to top it off the final scenes were almost laughably cockeyed unconvincing (won't hold water) dumb.

This French series has the usual marks of French TV series. There is little in the way of character development, and the dialog just make little sense to an English speaker. The plot is so confusing in the first few episodes, and the connection between the characters does not become apparent until the last 2 episodes. The acting is really terrible with the usual histrionic behavior and constant shouting that is believed to pass for good acting. It's not a good series.....really!

Entertaining enough for binging. A few weak parts in the plot development but the characters carry the story over them. The small French beach town location allows for a limited cast that is believable. Subtitle translations don't interfere and the occasional inaccurate translations are minor. Well wort watching.

If you liked Broadchurch or Hinterland you will appreciate L'Accident. Brittany is not England but the characters and the plot portray well the despair of the French provincial middle class. The characters are real, you can spend sometime in Brest, Quimper or Rennes and you will this mix of people struggling to get by and enjoy their life.

A 6 part mystery crime tale set on the French Coast -Brittany. Great location shots in a seaside town. The off season tourist town reminds me of Boothbay Harbor, Maine.!!! Evidently the economy is bad and people have to resort to certain scams to make ends meet. This plot has many twists and turns before it all comes together. I am. not familiar with any of the actors but they carried their parts pretty well. French productions seem to have great camera work. This one has some great shots. A six part series works well if u watch a couple per night .
