4 stars because the acting and cinematography were good, otherwise 1 star. Many unfulfilled story lines, many characters who were simply cameos to lengthen the movie and/or provide some timeline perspective but added nothing to the overall takeaways.
If the actors weren't so accomplished and famous, would have left after 45 mins.
It was intriguing to see the technology of making both Tom Hanks and Robin Wright look as young as Forrest Gump years.
The best part of this movie is that watching it after the tumultuous election, this was like watching rain fall. Easy and no emotional involvement.

As someone else wrote, I wanted to love this series. The storyline was interesting enough but the casting of Jacques de Bascher misses the mark for an American audience. Someone like a young Marlon Brando, James Dean even Timothee Chalomet -- if he has the acting ability to be so machiavellian, sexy, and cruel.
My understanding of the storyline is that Jacques was so bedazzling that whatever room he entered, he was magnetic and aware of it. He worked it. That's why both Yves & Karl couldn't give him up, he was addictive just by his aura. Hard to see that in Théodore Pellerin, maybe for a French audience he conveys that.
Anyway, interesting to learn something about KL. A sad person because it doesn't seem like he could enjoy the success of others without losing his own self-esteem-- leading him to betrayal and cruelty and loneliness.
