No Limit

Good plots and subplots. Am enjoying this series tremendously.

This series started out great. Season one has great scripts, good characters, compelling plots and beautiful cinematography.

Season two rolled around and the production staff must have changed hands. Instead of nice, tight, two-part stories, we got a long, rather boring story arc that was confusing and consisted of catching a bad guy portrayed by an actor whose sole ability was to glare malevolently through smoke-hued glasses. The cinematography began to resemble Hollywood's, there were too many fight and shoot 'em up scenes.

Season three rolled around and is barely watchable. I don't even think I'll finish it. I think everyone quit giving a damn, including the actors. The plot is like caramel apple rolling down a dirty street, collecting whatever bits of debris lie in its path.

So, watch season one. It's great and beats the pants off anything out of Hollywood in the last 15 years. Watch season two, but be forewarned. Watch season three if you're a masochist or are stuck in a hospital bed with nothing better to do.

PS -- The subtitling (English) is excellent, except for the amusing omission of a certain swear word...

Watched series 1 and 2 but had to concede defeat at the start of the 3rd. My mind had to give up after coincidence after coincidence after coincidence. Hardly a scene goes by without someone turning up ( by coincidence ) at a key moment. Sister, wife, baddie, daughter, comic sidekick or lover. If you take your brain out for an hour you can enjoy the flash, bang, wallop of it all.

This series is engaging even with all the bs.. The family issues of the main carachter is just too much, there is just to much issues.. And with his condtion he is just to much of a misfit to fit in as a crossing guard and here he is a special agent for hydra.. This Hydra organization is outside the law, but the work on stuff that always interacts with the same police detective, the main carachters sister.. There would be no need for this organization and no need for it to operate outside the law.... Still its fun and its good action.. Luc Besson always deliveres

I'm not really into reviews. However, seeing that this series has only one and at the same time very negative review I decided to write one. I saw first two seasons and enjoyed them very much. Actors are great. Action scenes are interesting. There's a lot of humor and funny scenes. Vincent Elbaz is perfect as the main hero Vincent Liberati. His sister (Anne Girouard) is so funny that I start to laugh as soon as she enters the scene. Bernard Destouches as inspector Bago is also extremely funny!. This series deserves much more attention, by audience as well as critics. I recommend it to anyone who likes good action combined with light humor.
