The Serpent (2021)
8/10
Finally a good Netflix show
4 April 2021
I am 3 episodes in and find this show very interesting and beautifully made. The music, the style, the clothes, portray the 70's atmosphere very well. The show pulls the viewer in, wanting to know what's the motive. I am inclined to binge watch this one, and unlike all other Netflix shows I've binged in the past 6 months or so, I'll do it with pleasure, excitement and suspense and not just an OCD need to finish the show.

2 things I do find irritating and thus subtracted 2 stars: the bouncing back and forth in time is quite annoying as they don't stay in one time for long enough.

I can't say for the French accent because I don't speak French but oh my gosh is the Dutch accent horrible. I cringe every time Herman speaks Dutch, and I am not even native. Other accents are also not great - Australians playing Americans, Belgians, English playing Belgians, German etc... It is very distracting and I wish they hadn't done that.

All in all good Neflix show - nice to watch on the long Easter weekend!
