Un homme, un vrai

insightful

It was hard to watch until the end, and after the end I deeply regretted watching until the end. The characters are shallow, even if you try you can't feel any empathy for any of them. The prisoner plot makes no sense in the story, it's like a side quest that is there just to take up time. What's up with the bankers acting like a 90s child movie. They look like the thieves from Home Alone, simply dumb. I think aliens from Guardians of The Galaxy are more convincing then the way the bankers act, feel e look. Netflix did again, another time wasting "series" with no plot, story or character development. They just throw contente At you, regardless of quality.

I agree with an earlier comment, but I did not give this a 1. I so wanted to love this show as well, having waiting a long time for it to available, but agree that It's barely entertaining. Jeff Daniels character is too over the top and the accent is poor (IMHO). The story did not hold together all the way through and I agree that all the side stories did not add to the plot, or support it, or were even properly tied in to it (not in an engaging way, anyway). A good supporting cast, some decent performances and believable, but failed by the writing. The ending is really poor. It does seem like the people who made this were out of step with audiences. There are better series out there. This is one to miss.

The series builds up the story and characters pretty good. As tensions rise it's hard to know on which side you stand. Acting by Jeff Daniels is superb. And Tom Pelphery manages to make you see his POV and hate him at the same time. I was just about to say what a great series it was, when the last episode ruined the whole series for me. Not only was it 100% Deusex Machina but the last 10 minutes was a crude amateur-like attempt to surprise the watcher with an end twist. It almost felt as if the last episode and specially the last 10 minutes of the series were written by a different person or team, one without experience. Unlike excellent twists such as in The Usual Suspects or in Fight Club, this "twist" was so unlikely and ridiculous it not only fails to surprise but mocks the development. I was so unimpressed and angered by the ending that the last 10 minutes de series went from a solid 9 to a 5. From a "you guys have to watch this!" to a "don't even bother". Such a pity that the great acting and initial story was ruined by the last episode.

Where to start with this terrible show? My immediate reaction to Jeff Daniel's, who has always been terrific, was what happened! He's awful. Then I kept waiting for signs of a billionaire who was savvy, calculating, manipulative....what a billionaire has to have to be a billionaire. All I got was stupidity, dullness, and a very boring script. Add in "black man good, white man bad" and you've got a cookie cutter formula for a series. I also kept wondering what was the motivation for the banker seething toward Daniel's character? Did I miss it? Fall asleep? It was central to the story. Admission: I stopped watching before the last two episodes. Just couldn't take it anymore. I simply did not care what happened to the people. Sadly, when I asked my wife what happened, she could hardly remember. That says it all.
