Vortex

I've seen many of the best time travel shows and this show definitely holds its own and is amazing in its own right! Love everything about this show. I am so surprised it has so few reviews on IMDB! But hopefully that will change now that it's on Netflix! The score should definitely be higher than just 7.1. God bless the writers and everyone else involved on this incredible show! It's obvious from how high quality this is that they worked hard to make this special.

From the very start, Vortex gripped me and it never let me go! It's extremely well-acted, the characters are complex & multi-dimensional and well-written all the way through! They all have their own personalities and definitely aren't bland, which sets it apart from the problems plaguing most crime dramas and other mind-bending shows. I cared about the characters.

Nothing comes off as cliche or uninspired. I was never bored once in the entire show. The plot is complex but still easy to follow along with and gripping too. Not once did I feel the urge to increase the speed on Netflix.

The lead actors, Tomer Sisley and Camille Claris, are phenomenal (but so is everyone else on the show). The makeup they do for aging some characters in the future timeline is some of the best I've seen. The beard and long hair on Tomer Sisley looks so real that I wasn't even sure if it was the same actor!

I've seen a LOT of time travel shows/movies, including many of the best ones like Dark, Lost, Timecrimes, Triangle, Frequency, Mirage for example. Of those, the show really is most similar to the tv show Frequency and the movie Mirage. I believe the writers may have been inspired by the Frequency (which was an amazing underrated show, a lot better than the original film), but Vortex is even way better, managing to improve the concept and reinvent it into its own thing.

This show has a very interesting form of time travel and the rules it set stayed consistent throughout the show. It's now definitely one of my favorite pieces of time travel media! I am looking forward to see what each of the creators/writers, Camille Couasse, Sarah Farkaz, Franck Thilliez (idea), and Marine Lachenaud come up with next!

Very nice TV show with just 6 episodes that, if you have the time, worth the shot.

It is sci fi but nothing too flashy or exagerated. There is some "new tech" and some time travelling/vortex, something that Im particularly fan of.

The caracthers are well developed and the pace of the show is quite nice too.

Despite I guessed who is the killer (thats something that, unfourtunately, is happing many times with me when Im watching a mistery movie/tv show) the plot is well written.

Furthermore you will find some good actors that composes a diversified cast, some of them well known, even if you are not particularly an expert in french cinema or tv.

This is a fresh take on time travel. There have been films dealing with the subject of time travel but this is the first time that I've watched a movie that explains space-time anomaly by means of a glitch on a new technology that reconstructs crime scenes thru virtual reality.

It's a whodunnit somewhere in time but a love story at its core. This is the unique appeal of the movie.

Who can say that this isn't plausible. Science fact may turn out to be stranger than fiction.

How the movie uses this plot device to spin the story completely engages the viewer. This reflects a well-made script that involves the viewer in the hunt for the killer.

The actors are excellent in their respective roles. Tomer Sisley, Camille Claris, Eric Pucheu and Zineb Triki deserve our praise.

Synopsis on IMDB is lackluster.

Plot is actually far simpler yet engaging and very interesting.

Besides main character trying to keep his wife alive 27 years in the past there are also ramifications of her being alive.

Unspilling the milk is very hard to tackle in movies and shows with any time travel elements, unless - like here - is not the main point of the show, but one of the sideplots.

Actors are very good, very convincing. Age makup is so-so, main guy looks perfect, his partner not so.

If you want simple, yet thrilling mystery and race against the time, I can really recommend this show.

It's not a 10/10 the way Dark is, but let's face it, most series involving altering past are a disaster.

This one does a pretty good job at telling the story, in a touching way, and it also presents beautifully the dilemmas you'd be facing if you were able to alter the past.

It's not going to be a series I will often think about, but I was satisfied with everything regarding it, the actors, the implementation of an idea, the length of the series. They got everything in the right dosage.

There will have to be some suspension of disbelief involved, as the movie does not get into technical details about how the event occurred, but that was just fine. I prefer a movie that says "It just happened" rather than trying to stupidly explain something that cannot be explained.
