La nuit sera longue

Of course this good series is inspired from something else. Maybe too much. It could have been grittier, more violent, with less psychological elements and especially a different ending; why this one which leads to nowhere? It is frustrating at the most. And I think that a simple long movie would have been better. Here, it is too much, we rapidly lose interest as it proceeds after second or third season. Too many things. Too complex. It becomes a fashion, that's the problem. MONEY HEIST in a jail, with something from ASSAULT....

Some parts were interesting but the series really fail in the end.. Without spoiling it, you'll be disappointed.. all in all well made production and acting, the story execution could've been better though..

This was a pretty good series but dragged on. You never really knew why they were after the prisoner and then it ended without you knowing anymore than when the series started. Plus, there is no word that there will be a season 2 to clear all the confusion up. If I had known how they were going to leave the ending, I would have waited to see if there was a season 2 and watch both together.

I see alot of people given this a one star. The set up and tension throughout the action scenes is intense. It is well made and written well to keep a mystery going. I think the ending could of been a bit better. Also some characters removed. Foreign movies have a different at syle to them.

I read a lot of negative reviews before deciding to give it a watch. Sure, this has it's issues. But overall it holds up. I think it takes a great premise, and executes it as best as was possible; which may or may not be up to some people's standards.

I think they overcomplicated the plot and the characters in a way that takes away from a show this size. Many of the supporting characters are far more interesting than the primary roles, save for maybe Simon.

Honestly I would like to see this concept remade. It's like Hannibal Lector meets Assault on Precinct 13. What a wonderful pairing of thriller themes.
