Beau Séjour (2016)
Dark goodness
I'm always looking for something new, and the description on Netflix sucked me in. Although it started a little slowly, there was enough to keep my interest going and I was not disappointed. Part of the "charm" for me is the subtitles (I had to Google where Flemmish was spoken) and I believe that having to read them forces you to pay more attention...which is a good thing. I guess if you take Dutch, French and a few pieces of English and wad it all up, you get Flemmish...this was the first time I've seen a series with that language and it's not so hard to understand.
Anyway, the story was great and kept me guessing till the end. I believe this was rated TV 14 in Belgium, but it would be considered to "vulgar" for TV over here so Netflix has given us this dark little gem of a series. Murder, drugs, corruption and a few dysfunctional families make this typical of many American crime drama stories, the international flavor seems to make it even darker and more horrifying. Great stuff!
