Not deserving all the hate reflected on the internet, the movie is just not at the level expected for such a reboot. I mean, the original Ghostbusters movie wasn't the best movie ever, but it was better structured and, the most important thing, was a shocking new film that we had the lucky to enjoy in the 80s. This is a 2016 reboot of that movie, and believe me, they'd been done better... Awful script, bad acting, unfunny, very bad jokes and quite predictable story. Kids didn't love it at all and grown-ups had a divided opinion. I'd describe it as a group of medium-bad gags, forced cameos and a bit of Ghostbuster action (very few and quite incoherent) Not a movie that we will be remembering.

Though I'm not french I've been living in France for almost 10 years and I speak french. I think I can understand why french people is hating this series. I presume they're looking into details that non- french speakers won't take notice: accents, way of acting, rhythm, dialogues, etc. The french viewers and filmmakers are used to other kind of stories and language (in addition, french people love to take down their own work! You won't never hear them saying "this is good", they will say "it's not bad/c'est pas mal")

The series is worth the watch. There's an evolution in the characters that might have been done better, but acting and script it's not as bad as critics have said. Not the best series I'll see this year, but I've loved it as it radically changed from most of the other options you have on Netflix: American or British productions.

I hope there'll be a 2nd season.
