Le passager

Just finished episode one and the number of situations that digress from standard practice in real life just kept coming one after the other. If the plot, pace and narrative was a bit more punchy and stimulating they could be forgiven for such artistic licence. But its not, its slow, low grade, and embarrassing to know it was produced by some fellow humans. If it was made by some over enthusiastic students - then that would explain it. And she cuffs the psychiatrist without formally arresting him - that's a rights violation and should not be shown so casually as though their about to have a pornhub sex session. I mean REALLY?

The guy she sleeps with looks exactly like her father but not so grey!!!!!

A huge disappointment particularly given Anglade appearing in the lead male role. Given his exemplary track record I was expecting great things but this is one of the poorest French series I've ever watched. Most of the plot and scenes stretch credibility to the absolute limits including several miraculous escapes for the 2 leads from supposed professional assassins firing a fusillade of bullets from heavy weapons. The operation and behaviour of the French police is also laughable.....they come across as lazy incompetent clowns. One to be avoided.

A very well respected cast, and the performance of Agogué, with all of her statuesque, gallic nonchalence certainly catches the eye.

Unfortunately, her romance with Anglade's character is not convincing in the least; not on a physical, emotional, or even an intellectual level.

In brief, the story is bold, intriguing and ambitious, but the execution is so burdened by clichés, procedural flaws and gross improbabilities, that it simply fails to pull you in. - 5.8/10.

Awful on every level; story line, dialogue, acting, casting....
