Transferts

Although watched with english subtitles due to it being french..... well worth the effort. Was hooked after 15mins into the 1st. Episode. Good sc-fi premise and surprisingly well acted! Show religions in the light to which they are... corrupt with greed. Politicians corrupt... well goes without saying. Police force corrupt. Human selfishness. You get the idea.... 10/10. Highly recommended... if you like sc fi infused with ethics and morals. Looking forward to season 2!

This six-part series is riveting TV. An interesting-enough premise (transferring a mind into a new body) soon brings a whole host of unforeseen problems. So many parallels with current issues of refugees, surveillance, police state tactics, church-state divide, political donations, and many more. Episode 2 is a little light on as it takes time to fill some backstory, but the pace and plot soon pick up. Do not miss this.

I was lucky enough to see this a few months ago in dubbed German. If you liked the Swedish original version of "Real Humans" chances are very good you will like this too. I hope this show will come to a US streaming service...it will not disappoint those who like dystopian stories, and stories about second chances. 8 Feb 2017

During half the series I had no idea what was going on and the other half was perfectly clear to me. I must confess I had a devil of a time keeping up with the main character. I would repeat everything and then remember who he was and really was, which was kind of offputting because it took a while to do that. But, the acting was excellent and the story, for the most part, was outstanding. I wouldn't recommend this to a slow friend but if you have average intelligence you should like it.

Transferts is not necessarily sci-fi in the classic sense. It's way more about mankind, god, believe & the role of religion, science or the government in our society. The series manages to create aside of stereotypes a complex yet effective sometimes even disturbing atmosphere. A lot of questions, some of them unpleasant and controversial, are asked and not all are answered in the show which is another aspect I really enjoyed. The cast is great, the soundtrack perfectly matching, the story absolutely relevant and smart.
