La nuit sera longue

Getting over the utter implausibility of the plot is the only way to be able to watch and enjoy this. And I have to say I enjoyed it over period of 24 hours during which I watched the lot. What helps is that Alberto Ammann playing Hugo Roca is such a hunk.

Put aside the identities of the attackers and the utter impossibility of a prison being cut off and besieged with no one in the world noticing and one can lose oneself in the profound deliciousness of wondering what the writers will have us accept next.

Much has been said about the inconclusive ending. I can't believe there won't be another season - there are far too many loose ends to clear up. This could have been resolved with the addition of a couple of episodes but as the producers stopped at just six this strongly indicates to me that there will be more to come next year. I can think of ways that the new season could be stretched to six more episodes.

When it comes I'll be watching.

Some parts were interesting but the series really fail in the end.. Without spoiling it, you'll be disappointed.. all in all well made production and acting, the story execution could've been better though..

Of course this good series is inspired from something else. Maybe too much. It could have been grittier, more violent, with less psychological elements and especially a different ending; why this one which leads to nowhere? It is frustrating at the most. And I think that a simple long movie would have been better. Here, it is too much, we rapidly lose interest as it proceeds after second or third season. Too many things. Too complex. It becomes a fashion, that's the problem. MONEY HEIST in a jail, with something from ASSAULT....

I read a lot of negative reviews before deciding to give it a watch. Sure, this has it's issues. But overall it holds up. I think it takes a great premise, and executes it as best as was possible; which may or may not be up to some people's standards.

I think they overcomplicated the plot and the characters in a way that takes away from a show this size. Many of the supporting characters are far more interesting than the primary roles, save for maybe Simon.

Honestly I would like to see this concept remade. It's like Hannibal Lector meets Assault on Precinct 13. What a wonderful pairing of thriller themes.

It is definitely watchable with the episodes lasting in average 40 minutes but there are just too many unbelievable situations to swallow.

Also, super annoying main protagonist, Hugo.

I did not care for any of them.
