Mortel

I binged the whole season. I think it is actually really good and fun to watch. The story,special effects were all very good. Also the choice of music is a nice touch

And I loved every minute of it! Everything from the acting to the subdued use of special effects, the entire production overflowed with creativity and nuance, made by a team of people who actually cared about the story they were attempting to tell. French language programming has been hitting it out of the park lately, and I really appreciate just how many risks are being taken with these types of series. Overall, an extremely well done show that anyone with a passing interesting in good television should watch.

Highly recommended!

Three episodes in. I am really enjoying this. Being a teen supernatural show, I did not have any expectations, but the show is really good with good twists and turns. Acting is not a strong suit of the show. Also, if you like strong moral protagonists in the show, then this is not the show for you. All the characters are mostly a**h***s. Tighter screenplay and better handling of the characters would have helped immensely. All in all, a good supernatural show. Will edit later, after I finish the whole series. It is only six episodes long. Edit: Completed it. A kind of cliche ending, but still not a bad one. Revised my rating to 8.

I just discovered this hidden on Netflix. It is not a groundbreaking television show that you must see but it is definitely worth your time. I enjoyed the mix of the superhero with the supernatural genre. It delved into some interesting complexities surrounding myths and the type of human fortitude it takes to overcome your deepest fears.

Mortal is a strange kinda super power series and I love it! The teen characters are unique, strong, endearing, fun and crazy. The writers may have written a teen focused script on a high school campus but adults will enjoy this series too! The adult characters round the series out. The voodoo grandma is hella funny with her craft. Main characters Sofiane and Victor take the cake. Polar opposites but their relationship/friendship is interesting to watch evolve as they discover their respective powers and emotional balance. The evil character Obe is interesting. More like unique. The eyewear worn looks more like frames with fire coils for lenses. I had no intention of binging this Netflix series but I was hooked. The series highlights a lot of the confusion, emotional turmoil and rollercoaster decisions that is representative of the teen years. In the final episode there is redemption, healing, resolve & forgiveness. There's also closure of old wounds and the start of new beginnings. The hallway scene between Luisa and Victor is exquisite sweet perfection. The moment is mind blowing. Worthy of a cigarette 🚬 afterwards. A solid series well written. 10 stars for creativity, great cast, action and storyline.
