The Last Wave

Enjoyable French TV Series. It unfolds slowly. I don't mind subtitles, and a chance to freshen up my French.

Found this one quite by accident. I really enjoyed the story line, loved the characters and was hooked from the first episode. Watched all 6 in one day. Loved it!!

I have no idea what the story is supposed to convey. It's disjointed, overly complicated, the personal dramas of the characters are confusing (there's not enough time in each episode to explore the characters in depth so what's the point of cramming in all the extra distractions?) ... And what wave??? "The Cloud" would be a much better title. I was expecting a serialised reboot of the Peter Weir film. I didn't mind it being in French, I'm just really ticked off that I stuck with it and it gave me no joy for my effort.

This is by no measure essential viewing. However, it is an easy and quite compelling watch. There's a bit of an different scenario going on but the easy for themselves by not explaining anything and definitely not giving any answers so the narrative just goes along at it's own pace and without the obstacle of having to have any final revelation or resolution.

But, if you are looking for an Eco-warning drama that is not to taxing yet keeps you interested in it's little intricacies then this is for you. The characters are a little wooden and their portrayal not always the most natural but in a series that is not meant to be realistic I don't suppose that matters.

Six episodes, well produced, that will just about keep your interest... dive in

There is no use watching one episode and rubbishing it as at least 3 of the "reviewers" have done.

This show is a bit slow at times and some of the acting isn't perfect and can be a bit tedious, but in the end it is a good story. Maybe it is not up to the standard of Les Revenants, but it is still worth persevering and watching it to the end.

The idea behind the story is not new, humans are stuffing with nature all the time, nature is striking back and there have to be sacrifices.

I like French shows, they are simple straight forward and entertaining, this one is no exception.

If you get it, you will like it, if you don't, sorry but you are better off watching Hollywood bang bangs and writing 1 star reviews.

7/10 for me, and I would probably watch it again.
