Marselha em Perigo

It is another depiction of the worsening reality in France and many Western Europe's countries.

What I liked here is that the plot is not concentrated on one gang, but two and the war between them. Then you put the war the police is involved with all the consequences of the first (which all results in some good action) and on top of everything we have the bureaucracy and the corruption. Yet, for only six episodes, there was enough time to see every character's personal life's dramas, which was very nice and means there are no unnecessary scenes just for the volume, but it's all about quality.

Different characters, very good acting, I liked the soundtrack a lot and I would love to give 7.5 stars, but it isn't possible.

I don't usually watch crime/gangster television shows that are told primarily from the point of view of law enforcement. The reason is there is the usual Hollywood cliches involved in the writing. Blood coast didn't fail to do exactly that.

That problem aside, the series got off to a good start by building up what should have been a epic showdown between the villians in the series. There was a huge build up of events that left you anticipating the climax, then the writers went in other directions. This leaves me to believe they might be setting it up for another season but it derailed what they had already done. Worth watching but not on repeat.

It was a great series on Netflix. Great story, incredible actors, music, camera, everything was a great match! I couldn't stop watching it. And I wish that it was longer! But, I'm looking forward to the Season 2.

Thanks to everyone who created the series, directors, producers, writers, actors, everyone!

Keep it up, because this series was one of the most different series, breathtaking, and brilliant series that I've seen in years!

I had this feeling after watching Breaking Bad, 24, Manifest, and other great series! So, I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for an adrenaline rush!!!

France seems to have worse problems than many other countries with law breaking and the impenetrability of the "Cités" to law enforcement. It's bad everywhere in Europe, of course, but Marseilles seems to have it worst even in France. The city has a reputation for corruption so we can't be surprised that the series shows graft both at the highest levels and lower down in the narc squad we are following here.

The action is fast and furious, bodies pile up and a tripartite war between two rival gangs and the cops plays out. We're getting what's probably a year's worth of killing and mayhem compressed into six episodes but the series doesn't suffer from that as there's always something going on in the action.

I enjoyed this and hope there will be a season two.

I am a big fan of Olivier Marchal. Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed his many movies and TV series - they rank among the best in a genre in which the French excell: crime drama. Unfortunately, Blood Coast does not live up to expectations. The plot is unimaginative, a rehash of a story told so many times before. The actors are for the most part wooden and underwhelming. The characters are universally unlikeable and make the dumbest decisions. Swearing, while expected and welcome in such a show, is just overboard and detrimental to storytelling - every conversation turns into in-your-face, profanity-laced slang mumbo jumbo. The "music" is particularly grating - very little sucks as much as French rap. And the ending feels like a slowly deflating balloon. Total miss.

One more thing. Throughout, I kept thinking that these idiots are so fortunate to live in the south of France, a real paradise, and yet they choose to live like gangstas in run down ghettos. Fools.
