Black Butterflies

Drop everything and watch Bleck Butterflies, the new French series on Netflix.

It goes from good to brilliant to one of the most satisfying thrillers.

If you liked La Mante or The Witnesses or The Promise and the likes, this is for you.

Or Mindhunter Dahmer or any of these genre this is one of the best you will ever watch.

The twists keep coming and you will be glued to the screen. It looks a bit like The Serpent another thriller on Netflix but this is not a true story and different to that. The acting is top notch the background music is brilliant and the 70s set pieces and locations are a treat to watch aesthetically,

Don't often write reviews but this one really moved me. So many twists and turns keeping you on the edge of your seat. I tried very hard not to binge watch, but ended up watching it over two days. Congratulations to the writer, what a thoroughly excellent story, one of those series that I will remember for years to come. The only improvement would have been if they could have told the story of one particular character, who had a tragic existence from beginning to end, dying a horrible death. Trying not to spoil it but if you watch it you will know exactly what I mean. Even though its fiction, you feel this individual deserved a better story, an expansion of his character, or at least a happy ending, and it leaves you feeling a bit sad and cheated. Excellent Story overall.

Engaging and well-written. This was a different flavor of a love story that is realistic in a way, which I loved the most. The characters played their parts well. Was hooked on the young version of Solange and Albert. Indeed it was almost a fictional confession which was not justified on the earlier part of the episodes though some of it were predictable. The Carrell part was a bit hanging and could have been elaborated more but it might be too much to be concise on the 6 episodes. I appreciate that the series was straightforward and focused on the main characters. The actor who played Adrian was convincing and brooding which was exactly what I want for the role. I hope netflix would add more to this genre.

As a writer, I have to say that this series was incredibly well crafted. I knew the basic plot, but the twists that were thrown in were powerful enough to cause whiplash. Only two of the twists were a bit predictable, but other than that the story kept me guessing.......just as Adrien's editor said, "Where is this going?!" I stayed up until 4:00 am to find out the answer that question and was amazed by the ending. It is a story that will most likely stick with me for days.....not only because of the writing, but the imagery too was unforgettable too. The majority of the series is shot with a vintage look, reminiscent of the film that would've been used during the 1970s and it works well. I felt like I was transported back in time, while watching the story unfold. There are scenes of Adrien listening to a recording in an art gallery, while sitting in an art installation. The scene is absolutely mesmerizing and really intensifies the words in the recording, which are pivotal to the story. The acting was also really well done.....kudos to the actors who played Albert, Adrien, Solange, and Adrien's mother. This is definitely a must watch! Another impressive French hit!

The story is really perfectly written with attention to every and each character to give us a heavy meal of convincing thriller and mystery.

You can't pass single minute of the series Becouse the it has a lot to tell and the surprises never stop till the end of the series The actors abd actress played their roles in unbelievable way that makes you feel it's true not just a play.

Even the make up for each character was perfect to convince you it's the same person either when he was a child , youth or even old.

The Director did a great job to keep all the story aspect in his hand and he never lose the control till the end.
