L'irréel : Incroyables témoignages

Not sure why so many bad reviews. I compare it to a camp site stories. The re-enactments , video production looks good. Sounds good if you have surrounded sound. I live in the Dallas area and recognized the people in the born cursed episode, I know there not actors but are very successful family. I would say out of the 2 season there's probably 2 episodes i can do without, other than that they were very interesting and good.

As the title suggests, this is a show about people with untreated PTSD... All of them have experienced something traumatic at a young age, and now they see ghosts.

Really, instead of exploiting them on TV, these people should be offered councelling, or some other forms of help.

What made this series so poor was that it is advertised as supposedly true stories based on interviews from the victims. Perhaps the "true story" aspect was intended to make it seem scarier, but in reality, it was a distraction. First of all, as other reviewers are saying, there was no evidence to back up any of these accounts. Second, the stories were so over the top that it was highly unlikely they were true. If they would have left out the true aspect, cut out the interviews, and just made this a scary anthology series of ghost stories, it could be pretty good.

Usually Netflix tries to at least keep their original content somewhat interesting or at least decent caliber entertainment, but this show is down right ridiculous on all levels. They focus on "true" haunting accounts that showcase people that I just could just not even attempt to take seriously due to their hysterical demeanor and almost over the top claims that made it seem like they were paid actors to appear actually haunted. Now I'm not saying that some of these people haven't actually been victims of some form of hauntings, but the embellished stories on this show seem like watered down cliche horror shorts that the production team/Netflix came up with to pass as true accounts. The emotions portrayed just don't seem authentic from the people at all and the show overall seems like a cheap addition in time for Halloween. The production value is decently solid for the re-enactments with some ok visuals no matter how ridiculous. The only episode that was at least passable and effective at times was the abduction story which had some genuinely well done visuals and intensity though it might be embellished as well. As a whole, the series is almost more comical than anything.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be horror or comedy, but either way it's so hilariously bad that I can't help but love it. This show takes itself so seriously and yet it's completely unaware of how absolutely ridiculous it is. These "true" paranormal events are about as Hollywood as it gets, and they're all reinacted by quite possibly some of the worst actors I've seen in a LONG time in a Netflix original. If you're looking for something genuinely creepy to get you into the Halloween spirit, don't watch this show. There is plenty of legitimately good horror content on Netflix that can do the job far better than this. HOWEVER, if you want to watch something with literally zero self-awareness that you can point and laugh at after having a few drinks with your friends, please do watch this, it's amazingly entertaining in that context. My sides were hurting halfway into the first episode I was laughing so hard, this is on almost the same level as The Room in terms of great bad entertainment.
