La Révolution

All I could think about when I completed watching the show was that this show had great potential. Fictional dramatisation of the French Revolution using blood sucking dead but not unintelligent beings ruling over France-woah, the premise is great but the execution- meh! Over all, it's been a few hours since I've watched the show and it's already stale in my mind. I sincerely hope they do better in seasons 2, if there's going to be one.

I give it a 7 solely to spite the fools who believed this was supposed to be an accurate account of the revolution. Did anyone care to read the description? It states clearly as it taking place in, "a reimagined history of the French Revolution". Please read before watching and rating things after 12 minutes with no understanding

... the final episode where, much like the Lost series, I felt as though the writer's abandoned the viewers and either didn't really have a good ending, or they were too lazy to write one.

The wrap-up was vague to say the least. Yes, one can intellectualize the meaning of the finish here, however, I would have preferred they offered me an ending that was clear and succinct.

Perhaps they were planning on a second season to explain it all out - something that is always risky with Netflix gambling on more than one season - but it was poor screenwriting at the end and for that reason I have given the series a 6-star review.

This show is absolutely fantastic and exceeded expectations. So many times I thought that there could be no further twists to the story, or that I was incorrect in thinking where it was going. It is brutal and suspenseful, but not too "scary" for those who aren't into hardcore horror. Do not go into it expecting a historical recanting of the revolution itself, but rather an alternate explanation. As a fan of history, I found it to be very interesting on every level as a lover of this genre. I highly recommend a couple episodes, and you'll be hooked.

Some things could be better, such as the graphics of cities and whatnot, however I can't really complain when the story is as compelling as it is.

Just stream it and enjoy the excellent BGM, cinematography, VFX, performances, direction. Do not compare with history or books as this clearly says reimagined history. Need more shows like this which are entertainers. Waiting for more...
