The format of Black Butterflies adds to both of its main storylines, even if they don’t look like they’ll come together... Go to Full Review

4/5
Like a strange, colorful, psychedelic puzzle, Black Butterflies uses different timelines full of tricks and secrets; an atypical, sinuous, and intoxicating miniseries. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Anca M @RT26330695 11/05/2024 Hard to watch. Disgusting and boring at the same time. See more Jack V @RT09345480 09/06/2023 Fully recommend. Amazing plot, acting and cinematography. I'm shocked this series isn't more famous. The story is so unique and full of great twists, the creative premise was used to its full potential. My only complaint is that there's way too many sex scenes, so if that's an issue for you you should skip this series. Otherwise, it's perfect! See more Symone Z @RT25515566 09/03/2023 Finally Netflix out does itself. Beautifully filmed, stylishly acted, perfect soundtrack with a fabulous dollop of sex and violence. 10/10x See more Sam A @RT88734412 03/19/2023 It was building up as a good noir thriller series through Episode 4- but Episodes 5&6 took it to a whole other level and made it a great and compelling show! Definitely a must see! Loved it! 👏🙌❤️🇫🇷 See more studio o @RT33219237 01/27/2023 holds you on the edge, in all six episodes. a love story that turns into horror. atrocities of human beings can ruin a beautiful life. and all lives are beautiful. good acting and wonderful locales keep you hooked. the fx could have been better. worth your time. See more Michele B @RT90279186 12/30/2022 Great watch. It had twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I will watch again to pick up on things I may have missed. See more Read all reviews
