3.5/5
This Netflix thriller makes us go down several engaging roads and the twists and turns are delicious. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 05/01/2024
While the French Alps setting of Anthracite offers a stunning backdrop and the premise hints at intrigue, the execution falls flat with unconvincing character portrayals and erratic tonal shifts. Go to Full Review
Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) 04/27/2024
2.5/5
... The miniseries suffers from a consistent intrigue bombarded with jokes, at the same time, it does not finish exercising the desired deconstruction due to its dependence on a police logic that it does not want to abandon. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 04/16/2024
3/5
Ludicrous plotting and a tangled skein of coincidences hold no terrors for the makers of this frequently baffling French drama. Nonetheless, its story... does somehow keep you coming back for more. Go to Full Review
Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 04/10/2024
3.5/5
The overarching mystery has a compelling backbone, while the performances are dynamic and interesting. The Alpine scenery is striking, and if shock value is considered a positive, well… Anthracite has that in spades. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 04/10/2024
Our confusion over the show’s tone doesn’t distract from the amazing Alpine scenery or our intrigue over the 30-year-old mystery itself. Go to Full Review

Clara Jul 6 Deliciously ludicrous, the frenchier a crime series can be. Narration can be a bit annoying for grown ups but nothing tops rotten tomatoes’ reviewers, so if you can stand here just watch :* See more julien d 07/08/2024 The plot could have been good but the actors are awful and overplay everything apart from Jaro who has one facial expression for the whole 6 episodes. 6 episodes painful to go through. 😭 See more David L @David39 05/19/2024 Interesting take on the cult thriller genre with quite a few unexpected turns. Fairly convoluted plot so does require close attention to the subtitles if viewing in French. See more Juan M. MARTINEZ-ERAZO M 04/28/2024 The narration makes it unwatchable. The director seems to compensate a rather basic storyline with gimmicky visuals and a gratuitously pressurized pace. See more Stavros M 04/21/2024 Convoluted is the least I could say about this script. It starts with one idea, then goes to the next, and then the next and so on, until it all comes to a close. It feels like the writers were trying too hard, adding all the right ingredients but without any idea of a recipe. To be fair, acting was good, and the locations too. It just made me want to watch "Dark" all over again, just to clear my head from this mess. See more Stu P 04/19/2024 An entertaining and engaging murder mystery / thriller. Engaging motion graphics and a rapid editing pace. Intriguing backstories progressing through a vista of quirky scenarios make for enjoyable viewing. See more Read all reviews
