Mata Hari

I've been watching very good Russian series on TubiTV, but "Mata Hari" was so disappointing. I've just watched Episode 1, and it was enough. The series is badly written and the acting is so poor. It follows "by the book" all the politically correct clichés of today's productions, where every man is wicked and violent and she, as a woman, is always a victim of circumstances. Deep as a paper foil. Good for Netflix "modern audiences", but not for anyone who is looking for an interesting story about this controversial character. Mata Hari deserved much more.

I gave the series 3 stars only for the production design, nothing else. If you are looking for good Russian series, try "The Golden Horde", "Spies" and the light-hearted "Anna Detective".

This series is one where there are pretty people in this series who cannot act. If an acting school needed any example of just what bad acting is, look no further. Nothing much more to say. As to the story, it is long and slow and although they tried to make it interesting it simply did not work. Waste of time.

This is a very very (very) bad series. The acting is horrible, the screenplay is basic and it's full of clichés.

It strange to see people actually rated this with a 9 or a 10, it must be the crew or cast...

Dull, dragged out and unconvincing. These are the ingredients of Mata Hari. I think her life deserved a more uptempo passionate treatment. Maybe a two hour movie with better actors and writers had served her legacy better.

Is it just me or did all of the actors sound like voice dub actors? It was really strange. Weird acting; stranger voices.
