Vortex

Very nice TV show with just 6 episodes that, if you have the time, worth the shot.

It is sci fi but nothing too flashy or exagerated. There is some "new tech" and some time travelling/vortex, something that Im particularly fan of.

The caracthers are well developed and the pace of the show is quite nice too.

Despite I guessed who is the killer (thats something that, unfourtunately, is happing many times with me when Im watching a mistery movie/tv show) the plot is well written.

Furthermore you will find some good actors that composes a diversified cast, some of them well known, even if you are not particularly an expert in french cinema or tv.

The show was surprisingly good and did exceed my expectations. I did not expect to be binge through all the episodes available this fast (for those in France, the episodes are accessible on the France TV online platform, otherwise the series can be viewed on mondays evenings i think)

The story was itself was gripping, the stakes were high and the actors were very good in portraying their dilemmas. Camille Claris' performance was especially breathtaking - her embodiment of pain, anguish and terror throughout the series felt very real and unforced (then again she is trying to cheat fate and prevent her own death!).

And that ending was chef's kiss. Hope this gets a second season, but if not the conclusion to this was a satisfying one.

Some issues remain on how the VR time "jumping" works, but then again this is a work of fiction and should be enjoyed as such. Overall great job !

A window to the past magically opens, and a police commander sees an opportunity to save his wife who died a few days before her accident.

Thanks to the appearance of this "Vortex", he interacts with her to change history, even if it means facing unexpected consequences.

The actors are persuasives and we face human situations that lead us to reflect on several questions: can we change the course of history ? Is this right ? Is this moral? Should we do it?

The characters are touching, moving and their story complex, we quickly get attached to them and we wonder at the end of an episode what will be the next one.

I highly recommend it to science fiction fans !

This is a fresh take on time travel. There have been films dealing with the subject of time travel but this is the first time that I've watched a movie that explains space-time anomaly by means of a glitch on a new technology that reconstructs crime scenes thru virtual reality.

It's a whodunnit somewhere in time but a love story at its core. This is the unique appeal of the movie.

Who can say that this isn't plausible. Science fact may turn out to be stranger than fiction.

How the movie uses this plot device to spin the story completely engages the viewer. This reflects a well-made script that involves the viewer in the hunt for the killer.

The actors are excellent in their respective roles. Tomer Sisley, Camille Claris, Eric Pucheu and Zineb Triki deserve our praise.

Synopsis on IMDB is lackluster.

Plot is actually far simpler yet engaging and very interesting.

Besides main character trying to keep his wife alive 27 years in the past there are also ramifications of her being alive.

Unspilling the milk is very hard to tackle in movies and shows with any time travel elements, unless - like here - is not the main point of the show, but one of the sideplots.

Actors are very good, very convincing. Age makup is so-so, main guy looks perfect, his partner not so.

If you want simple, yet thrilling mystery and race against the time, I can really recommend this show.
