Christmas Flow

This was a bit ridiculous but a fun Thanksgiving day binge watch. They spoke so quickly it was hard to read the English subtitles the first episode but then I got used to it.

I think this new Netflix series oriented around Christmas time is worth watching. The actors are good, as are the characters and the story, although a little predictable is interesting. However, it seems to me that being a mini series of three one-hour chapters, the rhythm of the series becomes a bit slow, it would have been better to have more chapters of a shorter duration, so other characters could be developed, as well of links and ideas that are never explored.

Couldn't finish episode one, I watched 80 percent of it and gave up. It just couldn't keep me interested, my mind started to wander and I kept checking stuff on my phone. When that happens, it's because I'm not captivates. Shame because I like Camille Lou ...

Christmas Flow is the story of a worthless rapper and feminist, a good French Christmas series with singer Tayc. Too bad there are 3 episodes but I wouldn't be against a second season.

This is so quintessentially French, I can see many English speakers will find it difficult to warm to, but I think a lot of our European neighbours will like it.

It's a comedy, serious at times, and it's a Christmas one, and totally utterly French in its multiculturalism.

I loved it. Direction is clever and on point, the plot is guessed quickly but the road there is always surprising and that's the best part of this series - you never know what will happen next. Often hilarious, other times crazy, but also often making subtle points about entrenched "attitudes".

However, most of all, while there are two obvious stars this is a mini-series where, actually, all actors are the stars of the series. Bravo to the Director !

Chapeau !
