Ad Vitam

6.5/10 Some parts slow. budget in low end of the scale and it show in some of the sets(futuristic empty grey). acting on the less emotional /expressional in general. watch in French . still, if it is a low budget it is a very decent series, specially first 3 episodes.

Exactly what you want from a sci-fi series, cool concept, excellent execution, good acting and several red herrings taking you off into not such a distant future where eternal youth is just beginning, and the young are treated as kids until they are over 30 years old.

It's too easy to press the next episode in this series as the investigation progresses with the characters and plot building into the last episode. There are some shocking scenes that are quite graphic, although not violent. A must watch for those who don't want 'Wham, Bam, smash and grab' kiddies sci-fi.

After the sea of atrocious rubbish that passes as sci fi lately, from the demise of Dr Who, not to mention dismal attempts to remake The War of the Worlds, its refreshing to see a series "this good".

Ad Vitam blends a quality crime thriller with a sci fi that has elements reminiscent of films such as Blade Runner, but still manages to have its own unique personality.

This is a deep series, that delves into human emotion and the things that define us as human. Just as importantly, it looks at what we can become when those things are taken from us.

Top notch acting rounds out this marvellous French series I had to watch in one sitting. Something of a rarity for me these days.

10/10 from me.

I thought the show was well produced. Sure some tech things aren't as advanced as others (they still drive cars but can live indefinitely) but it's a show, it can't have every sci-fi element in it.

The acting was good. The story line was fairly unpredictable and the last few episodes had me hooked since it took some unexpected turns.

Creepy show with an interesting plot.

This is an interesting and fairly different Sci-Fi series. I was happy to discover that it is excellently dubbed in English though subtitles in English are also available. The acting is good, ( Garance Marillieras is really good in her role ), as are the directing, plot and production values. I applaud the fact that the production company didn't add a lot of subplots to lengthen the series past six episodes. I really enjoyed this series.
