This french TV series deserves the highest rank. The quality of the plot beats easily any other of this kind. Actors are all at the very top. The protagonist is incredibly excellent, he commands the whole 2 seasons serie with a level unseen from Gossip Girl. I do think it's the top of teen, super high quality, tech-oriented, series. Gorgeous.

This began as a quite addictive, impressive experience. I confess (no spoilers) that certain plot developments were not resolved satisfactorily.

At under half an hour, the episodes are well paced. Many of the cast are fine in their roles, and are no doubt popping up elsewhere, deservedly. The possible break out star might be Carmen Kassovitz.

However, the relationships were impossibly tumultuous, perhaps for the sake of drama. The initial portrayal of 'hazing' is, I hope not a representation of reality in French education, or of pitiless French youth. The hazing looked worse even than that at American colleges!

I understand that many consider the hacking shown to be 'unrealistic', which I can agree with, although TV from CSI, all the way back to Star Trek, has portrayed impossibly futuristic techniques, some of which became reality. One hopes that this range of everyday, normalised hacking remains mostly fictitious!

Finally, the dour lead character; quite believable as a 'tech nerd'; he bears a close resemblance to the Mr Bean character and actor Rowan Atkinson!

Here, as promised I watched all season 1 and I can say that I found it excellent and many will perceive the mirror effect that it projects. This series provides. The episodes are short (20 ') on average, but they are all effective and we want to know more, this series is intriguing at will. I loved.

Impressive OST, this series is a simple but very interesting product. The main actor has a future, very intense.

The first episodes were quite good. I liked the characters, I liked the music and I liked the concept.

But it goes downhill really fast.

Most annoying for me was how wrong the hacking of computers and smartphones was displayed. At first I ignored it, because ... it is shown wrong in almost all movies and series. But it was getting more and more annoying in the later episodes.

And there are plotholes. A whole lot of plotholes.

Smartphones have no lights to show you, that your camera is on? Well they have since years. Okay, maybe they didn't when this show was filmed...

Everybody is holding their phones always in a way, that it can film their faces at all times, while being stalked.

Nice idea, badly executed.
