✅THE GOOD: MELANCHOLIC, MESMERISING & MYSTERIOUS!
✅The perfectly eerie atmosphere built by picturesque forest and captivating music choices, which acted as a perfect backdrop for all the gruesome and gritty crimes hidden in the small town of Villefranche!
✅Lively and multidimensional characters, that have a life of their own and add so many dimensions and layers to what might seem as just another ordinary small town mystery. Especially, Frank Siriani's character and his many idiosyncrasies!
✅Use of symbolism and supernatural sub-themes for creating awareness about Environmental issues without making it sound like a docu-series or without being too preachy.
✅The complexity and intricacy of mysteries that rely more on convoluted human actions and grim life realities than bringing in pointless story twists.

❎THE BAD: SUPERNATURAL!
❎The supernatural portions of the show might be a little off-putting for some people.
However, I can assure you that these supernatural "explanations" are merely symbolic and are perfectly meshed in with the realistic and humanistic approach of the plot.

📌VERDICT: ZONE BLANCHE is a beautifully crafted & perfectly proportioned blend of crime, mystery, fantasy, supernatural & romantic drama; all packaged in a single tv show and shipped to Netflix. To top of it, the show also blesses us with some of the most organic and stunning visuals from the mysterious and intricately mossy landscape of Vosges France. However, I must warn you that ZONE BLANCHE is not for the faint of hearts. It's extremely addictive, very dark, grimly complex, ethically challenging, morally disturbing and above all(also, most importantly) ends at a terrible cliffhanger that might leave you cursing Netflix and its producers. Apart from this minor hiccup(that I am determined to resolve by making as many people watch it as I can), it is a must watch for both Environmental enthusiasts and lovers of complicated mysteries.
Please, don't miss this unnerving study of human greed and the resulting manipulation & exploitation of this wonderful planet that we call Earth!
