Spotless

Just finished watching this series on Netflix and loved it. Can't wait for series 2.

I watch films and dramas to be entertained and realise they are fiction not reality so a bit of artistic licence is given. Were there elements which made me question the script? Yes, the daughter possibly would be more believable were she 14 or 15 in the script not 13 but as the father of a 15 year old daughter myself maybe I'm over sensitive in this area.

I too wouldn't have minded more foreign language where appropriate accompanied by subtitles but a mass audience might disagree.

I found the characters fully believable and immersed myself in their lives. There was enough subtlety in the acting to allow degrees of hatred, sympathy or identification. The storyline kept me engaged throughout the episodes filling in gaps as it went along.

For me it was a no question 10/10

Watched it without knowing anything about the series in advance.

My only regret is that I can't be a newbie and watch this series all over again from scratch, that's how much pleasure it gave me. What terrific casting. What great writing. You never know what's going to happen next. Wonderful.

One thing that I loved the most was the brother "Martin." He looks much like Robert Mitchum looked in Cape Fear, if R. M. had been much more hirsute. What a fun "bad boy" character. Denis Ménochet (Martin) exudes the same combination of quiet menace, boxer boy body and charisma as Mitchum had, too. Lots more of a softy at heart, though. A very good brother to have around, if only to make your life a lot more exciting. A real treat to watch.

The whole series is just one big luscious bag of tasty fun. I envy those of you who will be seeing it for the first time. Enjoy.

The lead really is super poor in acting skills. Looks constipated most of the time and lacks expressions otherwise. The remaining cast is great but the writer really needed to use the chars there Bette and make this a dark drama instead of showing some justified side of a character who is shady to begin with.

Stumbled upon this on Netflix and the premise of the story caught my attention. Lets just say Spotless has a Breaking Bad sort of vibe. A guy who wants to do good but ends up doing the bad. It has its laughable moments but personally I think throughout the 10 episodes it was a rather solid series. Its a shame that there will probably never be a season2, but I do hope it gets picked up continue where it left off. Enjoyable series I must say!

There were things to like about this series. Some of the acting was quite good - Denis Menochet was remarkable. Marc-Andre Grondin certainly had his moments but his brooding and the constant look on his face of disgust or anger or hopelessness or whatever it was, got a little old. There were some plot twists, some pausible but many more, implausible. Overall I had very mixed feelings about this series. It didn't help that I couldn't separate Brendan Coyle from his role in this versus his role in Downton Abbey.
