Notre-Dame

In my opinion it would've been alot better if it focused all of its attention on the fire, I can get that they packed it with all the other stuff to prolong the runtime, but still.

I don't know if it's the actors or the writing but most of the characters are pretty unlikeable, I never found a f to give about most of them.

I understand that the firefighters had their breathing masks off so we can see their faces but it's still pretty jarring to see people run into fires and not have a proper source of oxygen, just made me worry about the actors tbh.

Gets a 4 coz French is a cool language and at least it was short. Would not recommend unless you've watched literally everything else on Netflix, even then, just take a nap instead.

This movie has lots of side/sub plots that kinda take away from the main thing - that being the fire. But the thing I find most jarring is the fact that in multiple scenes the firefighters are depicted in extremely smoky environments not wearing any breathing apparatus. At one point they are trapped inside the notre dame and shown in extreme levels of smoke, and despite having tanks on their back, none of them use their masks, and none of them (apart from the asthmatic journalist who is also trapped inside) cough or show any difficulties breathing. (The asthmatic journalist only coughs on occasions and has to use her inhaler once). I kinda think the reality is that they would all be dead.

So many fictional characters with over the top stories, people that no one cares about. Ruined the focus of the story.

I don't understand why they can't just stick to the people who were really involved instead of this soap. We learn almost nothing about Notre-Dame and the event itself.

The movie Notre-Dame brule is outstanding, it sticks to the real event. WATCH THIS MOVIE INSTEAD OF THIS GARBAGE SERIES. It gives you a sense of what really happened and the glorious Notre-Dame Cathedral.

As a side note, in the movie, the French president and the Mayor of Paris appear as their real selves and that gives the movie much credibility.

The back and forth between different time-lines is over done and at time confusing.

6 episodes too long. 1 would have been enough without all these unnecessary stories. And TBH, why make a series when there is already and excellent movie that was released only few months ago.

SKIP and save yourself 6 hours and watch the outstanding Notre-Dame brule.

At first I thought the series had potential: the nonlinear story and the photography caught me at the beginning and made me want to continue watching. But from the second episode on, you have to ignore a lot of nonsense to keep watching. The series is supposed to be a realistic drama, but one of the main characters, Max, is like Bruce Willis in Die Hard. Apart from a few firefights, all characters are dumb and reckless.

I felt like it deserved a better direction, cause the plot isn't bad. For the amount of money spent in the production (the effects are great), they could've invested a bit more and delivered something more credible. It's only worth watching if you like the French language, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it.

Unlike many in here, I really enjoyed it. I cannot understand all the negative comments, many of them, to me so ignorant...... It was a fictional drama presented in an individual way.

I liked the way that the disparate stories, evidently from accounts of those involved in events of that night, wandered in and out.

The integration of real footage of the fire, with Netflix's art, was impressive.

However, it's a pity that so many found it so difficult to follow. I wondered if we all had watched the same series. Sometimes we have to get beyond having to have everything laid out before us.

I thought the acting was very good and .....
