Classé Secret

The story had potential, but too much of the acting felt hollow. Many of the actors, including several leads, seemed to be simply reciting lines without emotional depth. As a French Canadian, I really wanted to enjoy this series, but I found it disappointing. It feels like the actors haven't developed a backstory for their characters, or at least don't convey one. When they speak about past events, it doesn't feel real, as if they lack the mental imagery that makes a performance believable. For example, one actress talks about having been tortured, but there's no emotional weight behind her words. You can't see or feel what she's describing. I watched the entire first season hoping it would improve, but sadly it didn't. I won't be continuing with season two.
