Capitani

A solid crime/detective story. Decent acting and a well developed main storyline. There was a bit of a twist at the very end and some episodes had cinematic cliffhanger moments.

This series is really good and it even caused us serious binge watching. Luckily, it was weekend anyway. We started but could not switch off. It was all to good and to exciting. The suspense was "killing us". LOL

Luxembourg - surely not known for fab film making - did something really good here. We enjoy these hours in from of Netflix very much. Those are short episodes anyway. (each 30 minutes)

I truly recommend this murder mystery series. That's why I gave it such high rating. Probably the best I've seen from Luxembourg ever. LOL

The plot is ludicrous. There are giant holes in the story that make it totally impossible to get into the narrative. The investigator seems unwilling to follow up any clues. He runs around like on steroids, but insists on not following up any leads. The subplot seems weird and even there, there is a huge hole in the premise of the story.

That being said I enjoyed the filming, atmosphere and scenery, so I watched all of it. The language is fun to listen to.

The people leaving negative reviews are either children with the attention spans of flies, or morons too stupid to read subtitles. It's very well written, acted, and directed.

If you can't find anything better, then this series is not a complete waste of you time. I'm now in the second season. Can't really remember much of the first. The story is simple and adequately told, without fussing around. This however is also the down side; no surprises, no interesting or unexpected plot twists. Just simple and straightforward crime with a plot hole here and there. The acting and dialogues are average at best and for some charaters below average. The characters remain very superficial. Dialogues may feel forced and not well acted out. The whole atmosphere breaths neutrality, contrary to what I love about most of the French and Scandinavian crime series. You won't get hooked, nor will you probably irritated. Doable as an in-between while waiting for something better.
