Vortex

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.

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.

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.

A window to the past magically opens, and a police commander sees an opportunity to save his wife who died a few days before her accident.

Thanks to the appearance of this "Vortex", he interacts with her to change history, even if it means facing unexpected consequences.

The actors are persuasives and we face human situations that lead us to reflect on several questions: can we change the course of history ? Is this right ? Is this moral? Should we do it?

The characters are touching, moving and their story complex, we quickly get attached to them and we wonder at the end of an episode what will be the next one.

I highly recommend it to science fiction fans !
