it is different but weirdly different

Warning: Spoilers
I have watched all 6 episodes and this mini series is something different.

It has nothing to do with hollywood productions. It is film in the French countryside, most actors are French and it is nice to see something different. The plot is weird .

It starts off really strongly. 6 nuns are assassinated. It was a very sad and macabre episode. But after that ,the plot goes downhill.

The assassin is just a madman sent to retrieve a boy.

A boy that allegedly is important and everyone wants him .Every single person in the film wants to get the boy. And they are willing to kill or die for him.

It is a mess, bcs they kill people for no reason.

Bozouls is a horrid place. Miserable, gloomy people, traitors everywhere, no one to trust.

In the end we get a Poirot moment. All the people are gathered together like Detective Poirot does always in the end of the movie. But instead of Poirot it is a US/Canadian lady that blames everyone and gets the boy.

The end.

Yes the plot was that horrendous. BUT I gave it 8 stars. Why? Because the cinematography was very good albeit quite dark most of the times. The whole series had a way to draw you in ,to make you want to watch the episodes even though nothing made sense there.

It is a pity that they did not make the plot better. They had the ingredients.

BTW who thought it was a good idea to show us Clive Owen's naked rear side all the time? Was this really necessary?
