Braqueurs: La série

More over stylised Gallic hyper violence improbable enough to make Game of Thrones look like a documentary. A multi ethnic cast of brooding menace causing mayhem and making ridiculous choices in the Antwerp drug trade. It's diverting enough but if you've seen Braquo etc you've seen this. It certainly isn't Spiral.

I enjoyed this series very much. Anything I have seen with Sami Bouajila has been very good. I enjoyed his acting in The 2015 Movie, The Crew.

I would suggest you ignore any bad ratings and watch this movie series. The actors are all very good, and it was an exciting action movie that was well filmed and well directed.

Had me locked in from start to finish!!! I loved the pace of this show and how the characters were mainly developed through action instead of all the extensive talking like some shows do. One of the main characters "Mehdi" was my favorite. Loved how they didn't have him do too much talking. Also this show did not have a generic happy ending like every other show. The complexity of the plot made this show elite!

If you're expecting Godfather: The Series, this isn't it.

But if you want some action packed entertainment? Watch this. Is it perfect? No, of course not. No action movies or series with gunfights are. I mean Die Hard, one of the best action movies of all time, is ridiculously unrealistic. Any revenge movies, John Wick, Taken, etc, those types are far from realistic...but you know what you are getting into

Someone complained about one crew (they refer to as "good guys") being able to kill plenty of guys, but you are talking about guys who were obviously military special forces wearing bulletproof suits, highly trained, sharpshooters with state of the art weaponry, against a bunch of drug dealers and their hired help. I mean of course these guys will be hard to take down, just like they are in wartime.

It's not for the faint of heart either. No the acting isn't great but there are a few solid characters you want to pull for even if they may have created their own messes.

If you like to pick things apart that may seem unrealistic, this may not be for you but if you just want to watch something full of action and some good real characters, it's definitely worth a watch. I did see a mention of Snabba Cash. That was a solid one too.

First things first, it's a Netflix show, don't go into it with the expectation that it should match the quality of a HBO Emmy-nominated show. I don't know if other reviewers expected that. Limit your expectations. That being said, I found it very engaging and had many moving parts. Lots of fast action and was definitely worth the watch. Saw it all in one seating. It's not the highest budget show but it really came out well given what it had. I could draw a slight comparison to it with Gangs of London.

PS: Don't be thrown off by the action sequence in first 5 minutes.
