La promesse

This really can't be compared to Spiral which apparently is from same production team and the reason I watched.

A female police detective who's bad at her job surely isn't the ideal protagonist for this flawed series.

It just about gets to episode five with some credibility before bringing on a series of risible belly laughs - which is obviously not the audience response the producers are hoping for.

Maybe just one day there will be a detective who has a supportive partner, that would be radical. And that is just one of the many cliches that abound in the poor script.

Had me hooked until the final episode then everything collapsed. What a huge letdown. Could have been a classic but oh dear. So much promise until the finale. Could have been so much better.

Really good series, nice and unexpected end! I think the story line with Sarah and her dad is really good.

Unexpectedly good solidly-acted thriller.

Very impressed.

Influenced by the, in my opinion, relatively low rating (7.0/10 out of 116 ratings at Aug 28 2021), this series positively surprised me in quite a few matters: reasonable plot (not a whodunit but about the hunt on a horrible child kidnapper), as well as the acting. Very good camera work and direction and some fine music. Exiting and tensive till the end... A recommendation to everyone who likes a solid and firm thriller.
