What do you think? Have you seen Marseille? Will you watch season two?
Couldn’t stop watching possibly i finished the whole 2nd series in 2 or 3 shots. Amazing acting directing & cinematography! I now want to almost move to Marseille. It looks astonishing more so of my city of San Diego California. I must go there for @ least a week to Marseille. Thats the kind of effect the series actually had on me! I like that kind of melting pot! I hope & can’t wait for season 3!
I loved it watch the 2 seasons in a week-end. The Acting, the cinematography, I loved everything , the plot, lots of supense and action. Sorry that it is abandonned.
Absolutely love it!!! Perfectly cast! Will there be a season 3?!?!? I hope!!
Love the series, don’t really care about the dubbing, I get the gist of what is being said. 2 is better than 1 so far and I can’t wait for the next episode.
Marseille series 2.
BIG disappointment.
Clunky acting. Forces English (Hollywood American) dubbing you can’t turn off and which doesn’t match the actors’ emotions.
Tired plot.
It’s like watching Thunderbirds only not as exciting!
