6/10
A charismatic hero in search of his destiny
26 September 2023
The captivating protagonist, on a quest to fulfill his destiny, finds himself amid the gothic landscapes of France, unwittingly becoming entangled in the arrival of the enigmatic "Prophet."

The core of the storyline is contradictory, presenting moral dilemmas amidst a backdrop of inhumanity. This raises significant questions and compels the characters to undergo transformation. However, the success of the plot hinges on the creators' ability to establish a clear and coherent main conflict, ensuring that all narrative threads are not lost.

Personally, I find this approach contentious as it provides both compelling motifs and absurd, nonsensical plot developments.

The observation of these elements is intriguing, but to a rational and mature individual, it may appear as nothing more than a farcical fairy tale.

Episode 4 engrosses with its enthralling drama, unfortunately, the execution of battle scenes falls short.

In episode 5, Norman Reedus delivers an engaging performance, yet certain dramatic techniques employed to generate conflict feel forced and laughable, particularly among the supporting cast.

But it is in episode 6 that Stephane Audran's character shines through reincarnation! This is precisely what I mentioned earlier. The creators of the series struggle to construct a fully-fledged conflict without resorting to implausible and illogical actions from the characters!
