France is, meanwhile, bringing over to London a fantasy series set in First World War THE SENTINELS which will air in France on Canal +. On a WW1 battlefield French Private Gabriel (Louis Peres) is wounded. His
family is told he is dead. In fact, he has been chosen to be part of a secret research program to create a new kind of soldier. Inoculated with a mysterious serum, when he awakens, Gabriel is stronger and faster than a normal human.
He is recruited into The Sentinels, a band of elite fighters. Based on the Xavier Dorison and Enrique Breccia graphic novels, the French-language drama launches on Canal+ in France later this year according to Deadline.

I really liked the French crime series 'Engrenages' from Canal+ but I was really disappointed in 'Versailles' although I liked the actors and the scenery was very attractive. The story veered too far away from real history. It's not like the real history of Louis XIV wasn't interesting of its own right.
ReplyDeleteVersailles was boring and so is Marie Antoinette, sadly. French series are usually boring for some reason.
DeleteWould love to watch Cold Water! Will it steam on Netflix?
ReplyDeleteNo, it will be on ITVX methinks
