Alain E @AlainE Dec 22 So, that’s what happened to the guy who shot Mona Lisa. I persisted for 42 minutes and my conclusion is that this is a piece of luxury porn. We see sumptuous houses with expensive paintings, high performance cars and a plot that sounds realistic if you are ten years old. For example, a yacht with about twenty fat cats explodes killing everybody on board. About the same time, the police finds an unconscious semi naked girl at the seashore. Not only it assumes that she escaped from the boat, but also that she is somehow related to one of the dead oligarchs. How they arrive to that conclusion? By studying the shape of her breasts? Improbabilities follow one another. A complete waste of time. The daughter attempts to cut her wrists but requires no medical care afterwards. There is an ex wife who resents her replacement and so on.Enjoy!

The plot combines ludicrous complexity with banal imbecility. The scenery is pleasant, but hey-ho, it’s the bloody Riviera! In a cesspit of mediocre acting, Julia Stiles stands out easily as one of the most wooden lead characters in any series that I have recently watched. This is anodyne in nearly every aspect. I see they have made a second series, and perhaps even a third! I will not be partaking. I’m giving it an extra half star because, in a rainy summer, the lighting was pleasantly bright.

We love French films so the European style & influence mixed with a few Americans was refreshing. Glimpse into the lives of Old Money Euro Med families - in this case Uber dysfunctional.

See more Joanna M 01/28/2025 Relentless misery, unlikeable characters whose fates I could not care about, no humour to lighten the mood and every preconceived prejudice one might have about the super-rich confirmed.. all that's left to recommend it is the beautiful backdrops! The apparently limitless budget for hiring palaces and having every character change haute couture outfits each scene would get a poor country put of debt and lift millions out of desperate poverty, which, bearing in mind the lack of any meaningful message, left a bad taste in my mouth.
