Les Honorables

Potentially interesting vigilante revenge story quickly becomes a bore, as the characters do and say ridiculous things, and the plot spins off on totally unbelievable tangents. It does not help that much of the acting is pretty awful.

We really enjoyed this show. It has an original plot and surprising twists. Definitely worth watching.

Addictive provided you can accept that the characters have spent their lives studying the law yet forget everything they learned as soon as it applies to them. I guess that's part of it, but since of it is just lazy writing,, yet it was still fun to watch.

A rather interesting series that enters deeply into the subject from the first episodes.

I couldn't say if I adored or just liked the series, but it was frankly interesting to follow. The script is well written and I found that the cast played competently for most scenes. I also found the cast really diversified and well chosen.

Although the storyline and the idea of revenge is greatly interesting, I thought that some episodes dive too deeply into this subject, to the point that some characters make rash and absurd decisions, especially knowing that they've been judges since several years and that they know the legal system. A simple example to demonstrate what I just said is that they repeatedly hide to the police some evidence that could arrest the main criminals, because they want to do the operation their own way. I would also add that a few scenes were predictable, but not as much as some people have said.

In the end, Les Honorables is an intense and addictive series that was brilliantly written. We fully feel what the Dessureaux are going through and we can only have empathy for them. I would totally recommend it if you're willing to give it a bit of time to truly develop itself, wether it's for the characters or the story.

Very decent production in my humble opinion. For those who are willing to sit through a series that moves at a moderate pace, giving time for character development, this is a pretty decent watch. I was engaged throughout. But I will admit, it's strange family fighting the cliche unbalanced brat-man who's been turned away and who, by the way, comes from a weird family.

The actors played their parts quite well.

Thought, in this time of very few choices, the fact that I gave this a 7 instead of a more solid 6, is telling.

Still, it was worth the time in a space I needed to fill.
