Ville toxique

Wow, this is a great story! Its realistic, fast pace and its solid performances make it an ideal proposal for those who enjoy stories based on real events about justice, corruption and citizen resistance.

The most powerful thing about the story is its human dimension, it not only portrays the legal case, but also the emotional and economic consequences that the fight has on the protagonists and their families.

Some things in the evolution of these families can be frustrating, although due to the dynamics of the story it never becomes annoying.

A lot happens in just 4 episodes, and I watched the entire series in two sittings.

Top notch! Don't miss it!

I loved this show and wish it was a bit longer. It's sad to know this is a reality in our world and why are health as a whole is on a rise in multiple areas. From deformities, to autism, to many other health issues. I'm not a big fan of most of it regardless if you use safety or not. To many horror stories and waters still poisoned in states for decades. It's even worse that companies cut corners putting profit before health and safety. Its embarrassing and needs more money put into the research of the harm it all causes. I'm glad the mothers were able to win and it makes me happy to hear. Id like to look into all the true facts of this story.

Watched on Netflix 4-4-2025.

Wow, just wow.

A good adaptation of a true story.

Very well written and excellent acting.

I absolutely loved how true the programme makers were to keeping it in the 1990s. Decor, accessories, clothes, cars.... every thing was so well represented.

The story, I am not from up north and was not at an age to remember it in the press, so thoroughly enjoyed the telling of the case and journey all the characters took.

Given the corruption and politics, it was handled well, it was not too top heavy on politics which can bog down a series. More about the feelings and the people.

Really worthy of the time.

I actually started this show randomly because I noticed the actress from onther show, a show I really loved so I thought let's give it a try! I finished all 4 episodes in one day and I just can say this show was so good. But it also makes me sad at the same time because it is not just a show. It's based on true "events". The talent in this series is incredible. The story is presented in a way that you feel deeply for the characters both good and bad. This is a must watch and a reminder of the ignorance of toxic waste and it's effects. I just can say this show is worth it, and if you need a little show to watch with a few episodes: this show is perfect for you. 10/10.

Loved this. Love women.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this case. I just saw the photo of Sarah, Tracey and Maggie alongside the actors who played them-beautiful. It's evident that the whole project was approached with a lot of care from everyone involved, all while keeping it engaging and entertaining. A wonderful piece of work with a clear message and beautiful portrayal of community. The final episode was very powerful, and there were even a few funny moments that seemed organic and not out of place-quite rare for these types of shows in my opinion.

Amazing performances from the cast, especially Jodie Whittaker, Aimee Lou Wood (I loved Tracey), Robert Carlyle.... But honestly, everyone was so good.

I had a slight issue with the huge time jumps between each episode but I understand it's based on a true story so not much could be done about that. It's more so a compliment than a criticism-I wanted to know more about the characters! But I do appreciate that it wasn't dragged out-four episodes is perfect.

Also loved the title design (with the letters turning to dust)!
