L'île prisonnière started well which made me want to watch the other five episodes. Unfortunately, like a lot of other short series, it was too long and spun out and therefore lacking the intensity and emotion needed to keep the viewer involved. The whole thing could have been shot in two hours. I know Brittany is beautiful but you sometimes had the impression that you were watching a promotional movie for the Brittany tourist office. You can only use beautiful scenery up to a certain point. This and disparate acting skills and a lot of plot inconsistencies and incoherences with a predictable ending made watching the other 5 episodes hard going.
