Baron noir

Well acted, good dialogues, suspense... really I am bluffed by the quality of this tv series. A must to watch

Unless you're very familiar with the French politics the plot is difficult to follow except that apparently if someone needs to think about something they have to stare out of a window.

Nothing particularly exciting happens other than it seems that nobody can get along with anyone else.

.... it won't mean much, other than the well worn story of rejection, unless you have an understanding and interest in French politics.

My wife and I really enjoy this series! Phillippe reminds me of JR Ewing of Dallas; always plotting ahead and trying to steer things/people to his benefit. He's not the one you wish you were, but you sure wish you had his shrudeness sometimes. This is politics, and I am pretty sure that what happens in the series is not far from real life. Even in our Swedish, compared to this series, very calm political scene I am sure there is a lot of similarities. The Håkan Juholt "thing" a couple of years ago for example. I get good laughs and giggles from this!

Very well done look inside the French political machine
