John Doyle Globe and Mail If you're alone, you can wallow in the gorgeousness and shrug at the silliness. May 10, 2016 Full Review James Poniewozik New York Times "Marseille" gets loopier and more ridiculous as it goes - with telenovela incidental music to match May 10, 2016 Full Review Tim Goodman Hollywood Reporter The directors employ far more visual tricks than necessary, particularly a dreadful reliance on slow-motion, which comes in a close second to the score as most ruinous to whatever joys you might find in the series. May 6, 2016 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) In an alternate universe, Marseille would be a parody of political dramas, but we aren't in one and Marseille is simply a disaster. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Rohan Naahar Hindustan Times Witness the absolutely terrible writing, more subplots than there are spinoffs of CSI, and aerial porn visuals shot with the restraint of a petulant child who's been handed a camera for his birthday. Rated: 1/5 Jul 14, 2016 Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media On the surface, Marseille is stunning. But this edgy Netflix series seems only superficially concerned with the city's beauty, focusing instead on its shockingly ugly underside. Rated: 3/5 May 11, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

James M Utter nonsense. Unbelievably bad. Netflix scraping the barrel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/22 Full Review Audience Member I liked none of it - the plot is unbelievable, the acting atrocious and the nudity gratuitous (but thankfully not Depardieu in the buff) Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review dan m After awhile I thought it might level out to average but this series never rises above dissapointment. Surprising, given the cast and director Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't waste your time with this stinker. Wow! talk about a complete let-down. I barely made it through episode 1. Why would Gérard Depardieu's character ask his daughter if her friend was noisy during s.eex.? That is just plain creepy-but gives you a little insight into the whole tone of the series. It is just too ludicrous for words. Depardieu must be quite desperate for money to agree to be any part of this series. The best French series I have ever watch was Spiral. Totally believable and incredible acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Certains bons éléments, mais la succession de clichés invite parfois au "fast forward" sur la télécommande. La saison 2 est bien meilleure. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member mi-a placut , chiar daca m-am oprit pentru ca intelesesem putin dinamica serialului Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
