Transferts

Well written and very well produced show. Great acting. The series sheds some light on current societal issues in a very open, yet exciting way, so you do not get bored by too much obvious social criticism.

Decided to write a review as this show needs more people to see it and rate it. I enjoyed it immensely and admired the moral questions raised throughout the series. It really delved into the good and bad sides of a society where science and religion are rivals, indeed similar to our current society. I wish more people watched subtitled series!

Watched all episodes in one go on ARTE and wondering how this show has so little feedback on IMDb, it got me totally hooked.

If you've loved Ghost in the Shell (the original series), you will like this show even better. Just start watching the first episode if you're still unsure, you won't be disappointed.

An excellent series which will surprise you and make you think (of ethics, religions, love, metaphysics, etc). Well-written script, high level direction, and top level acting, this is GOLD. Pili Groyne is particularly fascinating in her role. I loved the show and was very moved by the characters' arcs and the world they live in. Waiting for Season 2!

I looked this up on SBS steaming as a way of practising French (of which I have a better than working knowledge). It is just enough into the future to be the recognizable present. Indeed a future less changed than in the 20 years since I first used a mobile phone. What makes this a stand out is the ramifications of a world with the ability to transfer bodies and minds. It sets out as a cop story 'historie de flic', but is so much more. Personal and political corruption is widespread, and so is religious, a fact seldom mentioned in modern movies, particularly when the religion is christian. Lots of French sex and nudity, I'm getting too old to be shocked or worse, interested, LOL. But be warned. It is complex, interesting and totally believable, in part because the actors are unknown to us in Australia. If it was Brad Pitt and Angelina or other well known face, this might just be 'science-fiction'. It is so very much more.
