Sol negro

This series is not good.

The writing is abysmal.

The story it is something between soap opera, rich family issues and a crime mystery and it fails in everything.

Character's actions do not make any sense and the fact we barely know anything about them doesn't help either.

The mystery is stupid, the plot is confusing and nothing is well executed.

I got who was the murderer almost immediately (verified by reading spoilers) and I have the feeling none of the viewers was shocked with the revelation.

Acting is not good either, even if most of the cast is stellar. But can you blame the actors when they had to perform with such a weak material? It was quite embarrassing watching Adjani trying to seriously say such stupid lines. I hope the salary was worth it.

I stopped watching in the middle of episode 3. I could not care less about these people.

I do not even recommend it for summer light watching.

Just do not bother.

Soleil Noir is a tense and intriguing French series that blends elements of drama, mystery, and crime. It has a dark, gripping atmosphere that keeps you on edge throughout. The storyline unfolds gradually, building suspense with each episode, and the pacing is just right for fans of psychological thrillers. The acting is solid, with characters that feel realistic and emotionally complex. While it may not be widely known, it's a hidden gem for those who enjoy European crime dramas with a moody, cinematic style. I'd rate it around 7.5 out of 10 - definitely worth watching if you're into tense, slow-burning thrillers."

These French series from South of France offered some wonderful views. The landscapes were perfect to set up one of the most brutal family tragedy I have ever seen before on Netflix. Alright, there were one or two opened questions at the end but if you can look away it works as an intriguing thriller guessing during all the episodes who the real murder is. Especially the last three episodes blew me away discovering other surprising details. The boy delivered really a very mature strong performance and his mother too. Congratulations to all of them. 6/10.

It's going to be hard writing a review that doesn't include spoilers. What can you say about a series that has its main characters, including the "heroine" making ridiculous decisions in every episode? Or a series that introduces a character just before the final episode who turns out to be pivotal to the plot? It's all a nonsense.

I watched it all, more fool me, which is why there are two stars.

As for Isabelle Adjani, I hope her fee was big enough to compensate for the reputational damage she will have suffered for appearing, botoxed out, in this farago of idiocy. Having to parade around in the ludicrous wig the script called for was the crowning glory of sublimely stupid scenarios. It got even better when she swapped the greying-hair wig for a brown-hair one. This was hilarious.

I can't recommend this unless you want to watch for a laugh.

I don't understand how the French can make such great films and such terrible hammy TV drama. This is just awful. Its like eating a huge packet of crisps you might do it but you're not sure why and then you just feel cheap and awful afterwards. The plot has so many holes its ridiculous. The acting and casting is appalling. How did this get on netflix?
