Nothing remarkable perhaps, but the ebb and flow, and unmistakable French flavour did provide audience interest.
Much admired was the way in which the politics of the period are elucidated. This never felt forced and certainly added to our understanding of the life and times of the characters.
Less impressively, the early episodes raised expectations that an explosive finale could be in the offing - a promise that was not satisfyingly delivered upon.
Nevertheless, the 1960s period authenticity was to be applauded, and I found the storytelling reminiscent of the French dramas I enjoyed in the 80s and 90s. - 8.0/10.
