Les papillons noirs

A very clever thought provoking series with many twists and turns all the way to the end! BRAVO! I had to rewind a couple of times to get a grasp on the story, well worth the six episodes 10/10! When you get through the first episode it appears that it may a straight forward plot but this series surprised me and kept on bringing in the surprises up until the very end. I don't want to say anymore otherwise it might bring in spoilers just watch it. It is an original drama mystery in French but for me I watched it in English audio on Netflix and just so you know there's other audio languages available, well done writers and producers!

Engaging and well-written. This was a different flavor of a love story that is realistic in a way, which I loved the most. The characters played their parts well. Was hooked on the young version of Solange and Albert. Indeed it was almost a fictional confession which was not justified on the earlier part of the episodes though some of it were predictable. The Carrell part was a bit hanging and could have been elaborated more but it might be too much to be concise on the 6 episodes. I appreciate that the series was straightforward and focused on the main characters. The actor who played Adrian was convincing and brooding which was exactly what I want for the role. I hope netflix would add more to this genre.

Don't often write reviews but this one really moved me. So many twists and turns keeping you on the edge of your seat. I tried very hard not to binge watch, but ended up watching it over two days. Congratulations to the writer, what a thoroughly excellent story, one of those series that I will remember for years to come. The only improvement would have been if they could have told the story of one particular character, who had a tragic existence from beginning to end, dying a horrible death. Trying not to spoil it but if you watch it you will know exactly what I mean. Even though its fiction, you feel this individual deserved a better story, an expansion of his character, or at least a happy ending, and it leaves you feeling a bit sad and cheated. Excellent Story overall.

As a writer, I have to say that this series was incredibly well crafted. I knew the basic plot, but the twists that were thrown in were powerful enough to cause whiplash. Only two of the twists were a bit predictable, but other than that the story kept me guessing.......just as Adrien's editor said, "Where is this going?!" I stayed up until 4:00 am to find out the answer that question and was amazed by the ending. It is a story that will most likely stick with me for days.....not only because of the writing, but the imagery too was unforgettable too. The majority of the series is shot with a vintage look, reminiscent of the film that would've been used during the 1970s and it works well. I felt like I was transported back in time, while watching the story unfold. There are scenes of Adrien listening to a recording in an art gallery, while sitting in an art installation. The scene is absolutely mesmerizing and really intensifies the words in the recording, which are pivotal to the story. The acting was also really well done.....kudos to the actors who played Albert, Adrien, Solange, and Adrien's mother. This is definitely a must watch! Another impressive French hit!

I give this an 8 but truthfully I am in middle of 2nd episode. So far really, really good for a mystery thriller tv miniseries.

As always foreign films are in a class by themselves compared to American entertainment movies/tv series. There are some good ones from U. S. A. But it is not a regular happening. Most European countries have the best of the best when it comes to TV series and films.

It is a dark moody story and this is what I like. I don't care that TV mini series are realistic or not because after all this is a TV/movie which is supposed to be pure entertainment, not real life.

I like stories/plot writing that is creative and puts me in the world of what I am watching whether realistic or not. So many people complain of outlandish plots because they are not true to life. I am a person who says "who the fk cares" as long as it is good story telling and this is.

An intriguing story with interesting characters!
