Guyane

Guyane is an excellent 2 season series that would have had a much wider audience if the producers had created subtitles for an non French speaking audience much sooner.

English sub titles only became available for the second series 2 years after release and even then they were low quality subs e.g. People read top to bottom not bottom to top.

Prior reviews criticizing the dislike of the characters are invalid because that is the subject matter, this is not a family soap opera it is a raw and gritty tale about the ruthless pursuit of gold and the lives ruined in the pursuit. If you cannot handle a dark tale then this is not one for you.

The acting was excellent for the main cast and for the most part cast and scenes looked convincing, particularly Vincent and Serra whom both looked as if they had not washed for weeks rather than your typical holly-wood makeup of well manicured actors.

A solid tale and a tragic end for some of the cast, in most instances the situations rang true except for the final episode when Serra did in the final scene which made no sense at all and was out of character for Serra as well as being inconsistent to what he was doing up until that point.

It seemed as if the writers just did not know how to end the series or how to resolve the conflict between Vincent and Serra so they tried to do something unexpected and ended up writing something completely stupid.

Overall a great series worthy of a Netflix release IF and only IF the producers fix the subtitles and provide a different ending one that makes sense for the characters and provides the viewers a more satisfying conclusion after investing time to watch the two seasons.
