Pax Massilia

It is another depiction of the worsening reality in France and many Western Europe's countries.

What I liked here is that the plot is not concentrated on one gang, but two and the war between them. Then you put the war the police is involved with all the consequences of the first (which all results in some good action) and on top of everything we have the bureaucracy and the corruption. Yet, for only six episodes, there was enough time to see every character's personal life's dramas, which was very nice and means there are no unnecessary scenes just for the volume, but it's all about quality.

Different characters, very good acting, I liked the soundtrack a lot and I would love to give 7.5 stars, but it isn't possible.

It was a great series on Netflix. Great story, incredible actors, music, camera, everything was a great match! I couldn't stop watching it. And I wish that it was longer! But, I'm looking forward to the Season 2.

Thanks to everyone who created the series, directors, producers, writers, actors, everyone!

Keep it up, because this series was one of the most different series, breathtaking, and brilliant series that I've seen in years!

I had this feeling after watching Breaking Bad, 24, Manifest, and other great series! So, I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for an adrenaline rush!!!

I am a big fan of Olivier Marchal. Over the years, I have thoroughly enjoyed his many movies and TV series - they rank among the best in a genre in which the French excell: crime drama. Unfortunately, Blood Coast does not live up to expectations. The plot is unimaginative, a rehash of a story told so many times before. The actors are for the most part wooden and underwhelming. The characters are universally unlikeable and make the dumbest decisions. Swearing, while expected and welcome in such a show, is just overboard and detrimental to storytelling - every conversation turns into in-your-face, profanity-laced slang mumbo jumbo. The "music" is particularly grating - very little sucks as much as French rap. And the ending feels like a slowly deflating balloon. Total miss.

One more thing. Throughout, I kept thinking that these idiots are so fortunate to live in the south of France, a real paradise, and yet they choose to live like gangstas in run down ghettos. Fools.

It didn't met my expectations. I thought the high vote of actually 7/10 on IMDb would be worth a watch. The first episodes looked promisingly but the next went slowly downhill until I stopped it. I mean the story is not full of.turns and plots and was just turning in the circle without any meaningful actions.

The best drug series so far are the Italian ones: Suburraeterna and Gomorrah. You will note quickly the difference.

Finally it became boring and a sleeper. Then there were some wholes that was not logic and that I cannot spoil here further.

For all these reasons i vote 5/10.

It is too overrated here.

I don't usually watch crime/gangster television shows that are told primarily from the point of view of law enforcement. The reason is there is the usual Hollywood cliches involved in the writing. Blood coast didn't fail to do exactly that.

That problem aside, the series got off to a good start by building up what should have been a epic showdown between the villians in the series. There was a huge build up of events that left you anticipating the climax, then the writers went in other directions. This leaves me to believe they might be setting it up for another season but it derailed what they had already done. Worth watching but not on repeat.
