This French series is quite an anecdote to the often much maligned series that Netflix in particular churns out. We have a young lady who is led by what is a surrogate mother. The catch is that the young lady is the daughter of a murdered money launderer working for the big gangsters in Paris, whilst the surrogate mother is actually the 'Fury', the one who keeps the gangsters in Paris in check with ruthless abandon.
The series is clearly quite a homage to Nikita and Leon, but also feels like 'Wanted' too! This entire mix gives us an interesting mix, and I was quite hooked. The show does try to keep off the well-trodden path, and was unafraid to upset expectations. The two leads were exceptionally good, and many other series/films with lead action roles with women could definitely learn a thing or two from this one.
I found it fun, exciting, crazy and cool. Must add a word for the two side-kicks who stole the show whenever they were on screen (Simon & Le Boueux) who I wished had more screentime.
What did dent the show was some of the ancillary characters, especially other gangsters, were often too ridiculous to take seriously (even though the show was really mostly tongue in cheek). I just lost interest when they were on-screen. That doesn't take away from the rest of the series I found.
Overall, this is fun and exciting, and I really loved the lead two women working off of each other. Worth a watch.
