Rachel Cooke New Statesman 07/25/2018
Where its English-language equivalent would induce in me only scorn, this show, set in a remote village in the Ardennes, seduces at every turn. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 07/19/2018
There's more than enough intrigue - and fine performances - to keep us watching. Go to Full Review Eddie Strait The Daily Dot 07/19/2018
3.5/5
Over the course of six hours, The Forest fails to create a spark of any kind. Go to Full Review John Boland Irish Independent 07/18/2018
A good cast of unfamiliar players helps to make this series an unpublicised little gem. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Birch T 02/26/2025 I watched the Åre Murders, which I would give 3.5 stars, and this was recommended next. This is far superior to the Åre Murders in nearly every way - acting, story, filming, suspense, etc. Really a great little series! See more Joshua F 02/12/2025 So into it. Love it. The vibe. The atmosphere The actors! See more Jean B 08/20/2024 I very much enjoyed this series. It is well written and suspenseful, very well acted. There are many surprises along the way, and the story has a good balance of darkness and light. I highly recommend it. See more Edoardo C @HAROLDO 06/01/2023 curiously, a french tv product that absolutely doesn't stink. at all. I'm obviously joking. French are masters in this field. and croissants. yes, the tv series is a bit a cliché. but it's not not watchable. quite the contrary. I saw the title on Netflix for years and years. then, one day, actually the day before yesterday, I thought, it's just six episodes. give them a bit of credit. I recently discovered that I really, really love twists. I mean inside a story, specially a drama. and this story has a real canister full of that. yes, twists. casting is good. location themed with the title. is the 'living' proof that almost always the smartest move is to do that something we frequently don't cause of our mental laziness. See more 07/17/2022 I first saw the review for the movie with the same name and almost missed watching this thoroughly engrossing 6 episode series. Don't miss this one. Doesn't seem fitting for a 2nd season See more Read all reviews
