Beyond bad . Very bad writing. Pretentious acting . Stereotypical character . The writers most importantly think they are creating a masterpiece. I really don't know how can they come with such nonsense? And most importantly how can an actress of the calibre of Adjani accept this role? They must have paid a lot for this.

Isabelle Adjani is what attracted me to watch this, and the enigma didnt disappoint. As for the series, I've thankfully given up snobbishly pigeon-holing my tastes: so basically if I am hooked, good or bad, thats all that matters. I was hooked; like my funny bone I laugh at things I tell myself I shouldnt at my age. So what?! Laughing makes me happy, as do improbable escapism. However, the plot deserved another 3-6 episodes to flesh out the biographies of the main characters, with teasers throughout for the bombshell in the last scene of the final episode. Verdict: all in all, though, the binge-watch was worth it.

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."

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?
