I had just watched โFlorida Manโ which I loved. Unfortunately the pleasure already came to a screeching halt after only one short season. Therefore another good show was needed to sooth the โseparation painโโฆ
Fortunately, the search for โsimilar tv showsโ lead me to โWhite Linesโ, which despite a slightly misleading title and strong UK accents, blew me out of the water: what an epic show!!
The story develops into unexpected directions, the dialogues are deep and entertaining and the chemistry between the actors is mesmerizing.
Pros:
- storytelling
- cast
- visuals, colors, landscapes, sound - all perfect 10
- intensity of acting, chemistry between characters
- Boxer and Zoe rule, I wish I could keep watching them another couple hundred episodes!
- dual language parts are well managed
- what a work of art!
Cons:
- the orgy scene, even though well made, was not really necessary for the plot or at least was weakly integrated
- for my taste too much UK accent - imagine you are watching a english language show that plays in Germany and they would use Bavarian accents or Swiss-German... not funny
- the character/cast for โAxelโ is not totally convincing, watching him feels a bit like watching someone acting instead of seeing a charismatic DJ superstar in action, rising and falling
