Les combattantes

This show makes for compelling viewing thanks to extraordinary acting, beautiful scenery & sets with overall high production standards.

Even though the villains (most of the male characters) are often too evil to be real, the actors are so good at making us hate them that they somehow seemed quite believable though disgusting. The 4 female leads are very good-looking, appealing women caught up in such dire situations that it was easy to empathise with them, hoping one day they'd eventually find joy. Music soundtrack was good - always helping the story reach emotional highs. Compared to most of the tripe dished up as must-see-entertainment this one was GOLD!

Acting is superb. Cinematography and scene staging is excellent. Storyline is good enough to be engaging. Nice to see a quality series that isn't from the U. S. And while the dubbing isn't the best its adequate. Thank you. Or should I say merci.

The different stories are interesting and not farfetched. Most of the actresses and actors are excellent. The four main characters are so different from one another, what makes the story even more captivating. I binge-watched it and loved it... until the end of the episode 6.

The last two episodes were indeed very disappointing: they lacked realism and were sickly soppy. Example: would it be possible that a high-ranking officer, at war, receives a prostitute in his office and helps her, several times? Finally, the end is just unrealistic and too sentimental to me.

What a shame as it is a super story showing the great value and capabilities of different women during wartime.

If you watched "Bonfire of Destiny" you'll be pleased to see the same three actresses ( plus a new one) and Director, at it again. This time it's 1914 and WW1 has started. A prostitute, a nun and a "criminal" abortionist are the main protagonists. And, yup the baddies are mostly men. But it's played out dead seriously which allows the plot weaknesses to be smoothed over.

Audrey Fleurot leads the way with her wonderful mane of red hair. And flaring nostrils! She's so good at playing strong characters who are always interesting even when flawed.

It's also one of the rare movies that show WW1 before it ground down to bunker warfare. It seems the French uniforms were "decorative" while the Germans, practical as usual, were colorless. Zut Alors!

This French miniseries brings us back in the beginning of the First World War between Germany and France. Many stories are packed here and lot of dramatic turns are shown.

The locations in the French Vosges of Alsace are beautiful. The costumes and sceneries were wonderfully created so that everything came very authentic here. The main actress and actors delivered an outstanding performance and should earn high respect inclusive the director.

The last two or three episodes were the best in my opinion when scene by scene was full of surprises and emotions. This war showed again how useless it is and how cruel it was during these war times. God bless all innocent soldiers who died for their country. 7/10.
