I am at the end of season 2. I would give season 1 a 7 or 8 but season 2 descends into an illogical snake pit (1-2 stars) where everyone outdoes each other in carrying out depraved and ridiculous acts. In fairness, this can also be said to have started in the last episode of season 1.
The romance between one of the Clios kids and the son of a wealthy family makes no sense whatsoever.
I did enjoy the scenes of the Riviera and the Mediterranean.
Reviews suggest that season 3 is even worse.
I think this is- as others have pointed out- a case of a decent series that went on too long and used far-fetched plot devices in lieu of well-thought out and plausible writing. The dialogue is very clunky.
I know this is meant as a glossy fantasy re rich people and their travails but the plots and dialogue still need to work and make a certain amount of sense.
___ I was wrong! I was persuaded to watch season 3 and I thought it was quite good- so I uppped the rating from 3 (most of seasons 1 and esp 2) to 7 (season 3 was 7-8). A more standard plot that hung together and where the actions were far more logical.
