Ganglands

I enjoyed this series very much. Anything I have seen with Sami Bouajila has been very good. I enjoyed his acting in The 2015 Movie, The Crew.

I would suggest you ignore any bad ratings and watch this movie series. The actors are all very good, and it was an exciting action movie that was well filmed and well directed.

I like this serie very much being a dark no-nonsense story. Though some reviews mention bad acting for me it was very good acting but I guess that some people prefer a more mainstream hollywood approach which is not in this serie but just makes it so great.

I would also mention a 10/10 for the visual effects team because they are great! Gun sounds, impact of bullets are well thougth and very realistic.

Looking forward to see more!

First things first, it's a Netflix show, don't go into it with the expectation that it should match the quality of a HBO Emmy-nominated show. I don't know if other reviewers expected that. Limit your expectations. That being said, I found it very engaging and had many moving parts. Lots of fast action and was definitely worth the watch. Saw it all in one seating. It's not the highest budget show but it really came out well given what it had. I could draw a slight comparison to it with Gangs of London.

PS: Don't be thrown off by the action sequence in first 5 minutes.

Absolutely loved this series, dubbed into English. Fast moving, non-stop action virtually all the way through. Most of the cast are new to me except the guy playing Mehdi. Basic story involves a drugs heist, a drugs war and double crossing is standard, plenty of action and even where there isn't any, the storyline is interesting. The viewer can't see what's coming next in this try as he may, unlike some movies where you can see what's going to happen 10 minutes before it does, There's a high body count, plenty of hand to hand fighting also. Well worth its 8 points!

Had me locked in from start to finish!!! I loved the pace of this show and how the characters were mainly developed through action instead of all the extensive talking like some shows do. One of the main characters "Mehdi" was my favorite. Loved how they didn't have him do too much talking. Also this show did not have a generic happy ending like every other show. The complexity of the plot made this show elite!
