Actors and production are on the high level. And that is all. the rest is like this: We have an old Saddam's agent who obviously has a lot of blood on his hands. However, he also has one very sick daughter and that suddenly makes him a very positive character in the eyes of the director. All Brits and Americans are either stupid and cruel or greedy and immoral and everything that goes on in Iraq is their fault. They are personification of evil. The rest are their victims. If you want to watch something like that, go on! This one's for you!!

8th season is for some reason rushed..
13 May 2019
The story of this show is so complex that it a strange thing that producers decided to conclude it with 7 episodes in season 7 and just 6 episodes in season 8. Yes, many episodes are 75 minutes long but most of the time is used for fighting scenes and lot less for the actual plot that feels like they are in a hurry to finish the story. Why is that so when it is evident that they have money since the production is very expensive - we'll probably never know. 8 years is a long time, people get tired, I understand that but still, it's a shame that the best show in years has to finish so meaninglessly....
Versailles
(2015–2018)
Full of fabricated historical events!
18 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Few examples of scandalous inventions by the script writers of this series. In the first episode very religious queen Maria Theresa of Spain gives birth to a black child (!) - of course that never really happened. When she died king "Louis remarked that she had never caused him unease on any other occasion" (Wikipedia). The king (Louis XIV) is having a passionate sexual relationship with his brother's wife (history tells us slightly different story). The actress Lizzie Brocheré is a young girl (in the series maybe 20 years old) that wants to be a doctor and helps her father deliver the queen's child (absolutely impossible for a woman to be a doctor around 1660). In another scene a court woman says to another: "Nice perfume", the other replies: "I never use one". Versailles didn't have a single bathroom in those days which was the main reason why perfumes were invented! Strange but true. So such conversation was highly improbable... All this (and more) happens just in the 1st episode! Script writers of a historical serial should know better! Unwatchable!

Interesting and funny
12 February 2015
I'm not really into reviews. However, seeing that this series has only one and at the same time very negative review I decided to write one. I saw first two seasons and enjoyed them very much. Actors are great. Action scenes are interesting. There's a lot of humor and funny scenes. Vincent Elbaz is perfect as the main hero Vincent Liberati. His sister (Anne Girouard) is so funny that I start to laugh as soon as she enters the scene. Bernard Destouches as inspector Bago is also extremely funny!. This series deserves much more attention, by audience as well as critics. I recommend it to anyone who likes good action combined with light humor.
