Lavoro a mano armata

Thoroughly enjoyable series that I binge watched in one day.

I started off with the dubbed version, but it was impossible watching the great Eric Cantona being dubbed with a voice that just sounded ridiculous. So I opted for the original French version,with subtitles, instead I soon got used to it.

The story itself was very well done. It started slowly but devoloped at a fast pace. There are many twists and turns along the way. In some instances you have to suspend reality, as some situations were quite hard to believe.

The ending leaves it wide open for a second series, revealing that Cantona's character is not quite as nice and as hard done by as we were led to believe.

And then it got unbelievable. However up to that point it was really great and had me sitting on the edge wondering what was going to happen next. I enjoy listening to people speaking in French even though I don't know what they're saying (thank God for CC) Wouldn't say this was one of the better shows I've watched on Netflix but it was entertaining for several reasons until the end.

Bingewatched these intense series that from the very beginning pushes the throttle and never stops. Original, with a bright script provides surprising twists and turns down to the very last minute. The core idea was to make a stern critic of wild capitalism from the standpoint of an unemployed over 50 white collar worker, a family man who facing a grim present and black future turns to desperation and employs unprecedented savage tactics to get ahead in life dragging his whole family into an unexpected nightmare. Excellent

Inhuman Resources: Eric Cantona plays a former HR Manager now reduced to taking jobs where he's exploited, he headbutts a manager who kicks him but he gets into trouble. Cantona headbutts a lot of people in this series. He's offered a job where he'll be an interrogator in a false hostage situation. then things begin to jump the shark. Some great episodes - 9/10; overall 8/10. On Netflix.

Not your run of the mill thriller/drama with lots of twists and turns in the plot. Cantona gives a convincing performance and has real ability and I was impressed by his contribution. The rest of the cast do a decent job, although some of them are a bit hammy at times.

All in all I was pleasantly surprised and happy to recommend this series.
