Caïd (Gangsta)

Can't wait for the next season .... Just ignore some user reviews ... Watch it for your satisfaction and review honestly

If you haven't lived in a french project, you can't get this. This is the closest thing i've seen to real life.

This might be in the South, but all projects are like this in the old country.

We don't need the wire, nor HBO.

Half the dudes in there aren't even actors, just guys living their daily life on camera.

Usually I like this kind of series from urban ghetos ... I was impatiently waiting for this one. But... No, sorry, even if the pitch is not bad, but really simple, the series fall into too stereotypical "clichés". Above all, we hear insults (btw always the same : Son of... and Shut up...) literally every 30 seconds, that's quickly becomes very very very annoying... 5/10 for the effort.

Cameras are moving like very drunk people. Psychedelic experience.

I found "Dealer" pretty interesting as cinematographic experiment. Story is rather simple - a duo of cameramen join a gangster to shoot few days of his life in the hood for a rap video. Of course, they get more than they bargained for and things will go wrong.

The episodes are surprisingly short, might be a social experiment also - with short attention span that online videos have formed in modern audience.

The story isn't very interesting nor complex, but paranoia surrounding criminal underworld and fast pace make it sort of fascinating to watch. Action scenes - thanks to "found footage" method, resemble more of a video game than action show.

While generally quite average show, I do not regret my time watching this. Especially since that time was pleasingly short, yet nicely action-packed. Other shows waste a ton of your time before you'll even figure out if you like them. Not here.
