Mortale

Three episodes in. I am really enjoying this. Being a teen supernatural show, I did not have any expectations, but the show is really good with good twists and turns. Acting is not a strong suit of the show. Also, if you like strong moral protagonists in the show, then this is not the show for you. All the characters are mostly a**h***s. Tighter screenplay and better handling of the characters would have helped immensely. All in all, a good supernatural show. Will edit later, after I finish the whole series. It is only six episodes long. Edit: Completed it. A kind of cliche ending, but still not a bad one. Revised my rating to 8.

In my opinion Mortel is the most captivating french Tvshow In the suburb of Paris Sofiane tries to find his brother because he dissapeared. The performance of Nemo Schiffman is just incredible, he played hard scene and the duo with Carl Malapa is so great. The only problem of this Tvshow is that the characters except Sofiane and Victore are not developped like Luisa and the supervilain. I liked the different scenes and her different colors. The directors made a good job ! The soundtrack is just wonderful because the rapsongs used are the same as what I listen everyday. The plot was well written and I rate Mortel 8.5 stars. If you are a teenager and you like action romance and fantastic TVshow you will love Mortel !

Complex themes intertwined in a teen supernatural show. Suicide, sexual assault, friendship, familial expectations, loss, communication, and true love. The soundtrack is everything right with the world. The acting is nuanced with the exception of a couple of minor characters chomping sone scenery. It starts kind of slow but by the second episode you're hooked. This show contains one of the most beautiful love scenes I've ever witnessed. A must see! Please give us a2nd season,Netflix!

Mortal is a strange kinda super power series and I love it! The teen characters are unique, strong, endearing, fun and crazy. The writers may have written a teen focused script on a high school campus but adults will enjoy this series too! The adult characters round the series out. The voodoo grandma is hella funny with her craft. Main characters Sofiane and Victor take the cake. Polar opposites but their relationship/friendship is interesting to watch evolve as they discover their respective powers and emotional balance. The evil character Obe is interesting. More like unique. The eyewear worn looks more like frames with fire coils for lenses. I had no intention of binging this Netflix series but I was hooked. The series highlights a lot of the confusion, emotional turmoil and rollercoaster decisions that is representative of the teen years. In the final episode there is redemption, healing, resolve & forgiveness. There's also closure of old wounds and the start of new beginnings. The hallway scene between Luisa and Victor is exquisite sweet perfection. The moment is mind blowing. Worthy of a cigarette 🚬 afterwards. A solid series well written. 10 stars for creativity, great cast, action and storyline.

And I loved every minute of it! Everything from the acting to the subdued use of special effects, the entire production overflowed with creativity and nuance, made by a team of people who actually cared about the story they were attempting to tell. French language programming has been hitting it out of the park lately, and I really appreciate just how many risks are being taken with these types of series. Overall, an extremely well done show that anyone with a passing interesting in good television should watch.

Highly recommended!
