It was a great series on Netflix. Great story, incredible actors, music, camera, everything was a great match! I couldn't stop watching it. And I wish that it was longer! But, I'm looking forward to the Season 2.

Thanks to everyone who created the series, directors, producers, writers, actors, everyone!

Keep it up, because this series was one of the most different series, breathtaking, and brilliant series that I've seen in years!

I had this feeling after watching Breaking Bad, 24, Manifest, and other great series! So, I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for an adrenaline rush!!!

Blood Coast throws a punch, leaving you breathless and wanting more. Set against the stunning backdrop of Marseille, this French crime drama dives deep into the city's underbelly, where loyalty is fractured and the line between cops and criminals blurs.

Gripping Narrative: The story, while not groundbreaking, is tightly woven and suspenseful. You'll find yourself invested in the hunt for the elusive criminal, constantly guessing who's playing who and what their true motives are. The six-episode format keeps things brisk, avoiding the drag of unnecessary filler.

Characters with Bite: The characters are complex and morally ambiguous, which is refreshing in a genre sometimes prone to cookie-cutter figures. Captain Benamar, a haunted cop pushing the boundaries, and the ruthless drug lord Saïdi are particularly captivating. While their actions may be questionable, their motivations are compelling.

Visually Striking: Marseille shines as a character itself. The cinematography captures the city's beauty and grit with equal flair, showcasing its sun-drenched streets and hidden alleyways. The action sequences are visceral and well-choreographed, adding to the immersive experience.

Not for the Faint of Heart: Be warned, Blood Coast doesn't shy away from violence and brutality. It's a raw portrayal of the criminal underworld, complete with graphic scenes and coarse language. If you have a weak stomach, steer clear.

Overall: If you're looking for a fast-paced, character-driven crime drama with a unique European flavor, Blood Coast delivers. Be prepared for some violence, but if you can handle it, you'll be rewarded with a thrilling ride through the dark heart of Marseille.

The music score contribution adds it's own character to the series.

France seems to have worse problems than many other countries with law breaking and the impenetrability of the "Cités" to law enforcement. It's bad everywhere in Europe, of course, but Marseilles seems to have it worst even in France. The city has a reputation for corruption so we can't be surprised that the series shows graft both at the highest levels and lower down in the narc squad we are following here.

The action is fast and furious, bodies pile up and a tripartite war between two rival gangs and the cops plays out. We're getting what's probably a year's worth of killing and mayhem compressed into six episodes but the series doesn't suffer from that as there's always something going on in the action.

I enjoyed this and hope there will be a season two.

I am a big fan of Olivier Marchal. Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed his many movies and TV series - they rank among the best in a genre in which the French excell: crime drama. Unfortunately, Blood Coast does not live up to expectations. The plot is unimaginative, a rehash of a story told so many times before. The actors are for the most part wooden and underwhelming. The characters are universally unlikeable and make the dumbest decisions. Swearing, while expected and welcome in such a show, is just overboard and detrimental to storytelling - every conversation turns into in-your-face, profanity-laced slang mumbo jumbo. The "music" is particularly grating - very little sucks as much as French rap. And the ending feels like a slowly deflating balloon. Total miss.

One more thing. Throughout, I kept thinking that these idiots are so fortunate to live in the south of France, a real paradise, and yet they choose to live like gangstas in run down ghettos. Fools.

Blood Coast is really great! It's an action packed thriller serie that knows what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It just trying to entertain people with interesting crime stories and great action scenes. The director of Netflix Rogue City does incredible job at story telling crime mobs stories in Marseille, France. This serie is good entertainment for people that enjoy action thriller series. This serie will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat throughout the season. You'll want to binge all the episodes. This new serie is doing amazing storytelling set in a european country. This serie could become a success on Netflix it,s easily one of the best new action thriller series.
