Reine Rouge

Thriller, intrigue and more thriller, I love it. Although the bar was very high thanks to the magnificent book, the series hooks you more and more as the chapters go by and for that reason alone, if you like intrigue, it is worth watching, so if you have not read the book yet, take advantage and Watch the series before because you will probably like it more. Regarding the main actors, I have read many different opinions but my opinion is that they fit perfectly and together they are even better. I congratulate you Juan Gómez-Jurado for wanting to make a series of one of your books, I hope it is the first of many and I encourage other writers to do the same because very good series would come out.

Its Amazing! I have seen it all in one go and it is a perfect adaptation of the book. Tension, intrigue, humor... everything necessary to make the series enjoyable. The actors do a great job, and have managed to capture their characters perfectly. The production of the series is also noteworthy, being one of the most ambitious in the author's country of origin. We must also highlight the soundtrack, which has been made by one of the most prestigious musicians in Spanish cinema, and which sounds very good in the series. All this makes it a television show of the moment and essential viewing. And remember, don't tell the ending.

I am Spaniard so I was really excited about this one. I really loved to write a good review about something well made in my country like "Antidisturbios" for example. So, consequently I started to watch this based on a successful best seller. But I was wrong thinking this will be great. I am not sure why the hype of scoring this production as a 10.

First, the story is full of cliches, predictable and certainly boring. You can predict almost 95% of the story without reading the book.

Second, the acting seems forced and full of cliches again. Sometimes it looks like a soap opera mixed with Matrix and Saw. Terrible. Even the lead woman does a great job, sometimes is annoying because of her dialogues.

Last, the stereotypes here again are forced and nothing to do with the reality from my country. People from Vasc Country speak Euskera not like here a d*mb invented language.

Anyway, I do not recommend this series if you have watched similar ones. Boring, predictable and not clever. Even the stereotypes are wrong.

I've seen the series in one sitting and to say I loved it may be an understatement. Very good adaptation!!!

It is always risky to adapt a successful novel, with many followers, but the result has been much more than satisfactory. We love Antonia and Jon very much for their adventures in the novels and in the series they have been very well characterized.

Well-chosen locations, good production, it shows that every detail has been taken care of, even the actor who plays the Control Assistant does a good job.

I hope I don't have to wait too long to be able to enjoy the adaptations of the next two novels.

What a disappointment!!! I approached this thriller TV series blindly trusting the many positive reviews... nothing could be more wrong nowadays, where professional reviews are often entrusted to business interests and amateur ones to donkeys who are satisfied with banal plots, some visual effects, and ridiculous twists from kids' films. This series, a mix between The Silent of the Lambs, Saw, True Detective, Nikita... and many others even mentioned, here with an excellent sense of humour, by the actors during the development of the plot, does not make an impression anywhere, and, indeed, it leaks from all of them. It's a loop of scenes with no purpose, and ends in themselves, to arrive at nothing, except a very banal ending, which could have been resolved in a 5 minute short film. The beginning is promising, certainly intriguing, as the plot unravels, it makes us wonder why we wasted almost 7 hours for... NOTHING!!! THE VOID!!! Negative, from all points of view, even the characters do not create any empathy. FAILED!!!
