The Forest (2017)
7/10
Slow but captivating
3 April 2020
The show has a slow pace which adds to its charm. The gradual pace helps understand the character build up and the show keeps it eerie nature.

However, the show portrays the French police as one of the worst.

1. They regularly share case updates with the town folks.

2. They hide and manipulate/tamper with evidence to save their friends.

3. They let their emotions get in the way of police investigation.

4. They hide facts from their team.

5. They are not all prepared for serious situations. (One policeman was asked to watch over the killing scene, but he didn't have a gun. So, he forgets his sense of duty and starts running after someone approaches the location) 6. The police captain knows that the female detective is incompetent and unable to check her emotions, still he lets her continue with the investigation. I understand that she must be emotionally traumatised but that is not a reason to jeopardise the investigation.
