Relève-toi!

I tried it without any expectations and surprisingly it drew me in right from the start and turned out to be a great crime story with dynamic and gripping action from an area of Europe that we know so little about, especially the criminal world or the police forces dealing with the most difficult cases. The action scenes are realised in such a way that you could watch it for hours. I must admit that I rarely watch 1-2 episodes a day, but I watched this one at the weekend and I can't remember the last time I did. It's nice that the authors didn't stretch it to more episodes, maybe the atmosphere would have sat down, the 6 we got I watched on the verge of biting my nails. I will not write anything about the quality of the actors, because they were spot on, every one of them. I had a great time with it, I can't wait for the second season and I hope it will be just as exciting and we won't have to wait too long. For me a solid 10/10, more of this kind of manly cinema please.

Heartfelt and engaging series that blends emotional family drama with unexpected twists. At its core, it tells the story of an unconventional family navigating love, loyalty, and survival in a flawed and corrupt society. The unpredictable plot keeps viewers hooked, constantly surprising them with its turns and emotional depth.

The characters are the heart of the show, each portrayed with depth and sincerity. The actors deliver convincing performances, making the relationships feel real and relatable. Their struggles, growth, and interactions leave a lasting impression, drawing the audience into their world.

The series also explores important themes like love, forgiveness, and resilience. It sheds light on societal problems in a simple and thoughtful way.

There was a lot of promise here. The set up is plausible. The execution was not. The writers required too much suspension of belief to pull this off. Its a shame because most of it wasn't required. They couldn't help but go "Hollywood".

The main protaganists were ok. The acting was there. The on location filming and musical scoring were on point. Another good point was breaking the episodes down into one hour episodes. You are able to digest a lot because of good pacing.

There are some background side stories that are sprinkled in but not enough to bog the main story down. Overall its a good series if you can get past the implausible moments and is well worth a watch.

"Go Ahead Brother" (2024) delivers a pulse-pounding cinematic experience that sets a high bar for action films. The fight scenes are breathtaking, blending intricate choreography with raw intensity, each punch and kick perfectly framed to maximize impact. The camera work is masterful, with dynamic angles and seamless tracking shots that pull you directly into the action. The editing complements this perfectly, maintaining a relentless pace without ever feeling chaotic. The cast shines, delivering performances that balance emotional depth with physical prowess. While the script doesn't reinvent the genre, it offers solid storytelling and enough character development to keep you invested. Overall, it's a must-watch for action enthusiasts, combining technical brilliance with thrilling spectacle.

Ended up binge watching it in 2 days, watched it with subtitles great story, great action.

Appreciated all the cinematography - colour grading down to a tee.

All the tactical kit and gear, oscar with a devil on one shoulder an angel on the other listening to both a different times, a good guy albeit with a bad streak.

You don't quite get the reason why but you figure out his panic attacks are PTSD from his Army days.

Great character relationships, you can follow how everyone knows each other and how it's all intertwined, two mafia families struggling for power after a streak of paranoia sets the fire below them.
