The Last Panthers is one of the best series to air on Sky in 2015.
The story follows many well respected British/French/Serbian actors and should be well received by audiences outside the UK & US as well as.
I think a lot of credit needs to be given to production companies which embrace multi-lingual scripts, instead of re-creating the same concept storyline which seems to be happening as of a recent years.
This is not a film for people who do not enjoy subtitles. But I personally believe that if a character is from a different country to countries of English speaking languages, it is vital for the conviction of the story for that character to speak in there most 'comfortable' language, as this is what would occur in reality. Additionally it strengthens the acting too. To discredit any film because of this reason is unprofessional and shouldn't be validated as "Professional review".
The action in the series is well directed and convincing for the audience. The series does have a lot of 'gritty' moments and harsh realities of how multi-continental gangs could operate, which add to the conviction of the storyline and the attraction of the audience to the series.
The script/ storyline of the series is complex, so is for a mature audience. There are a lot of details that can be complicated for the viewer, but the fact that its hard to pick holes in the series storyline is credible to its genre and style as 'well made'.
The production value greatly surpasses its actual budget, and for a small British film company it should be applauded as a well produced series.
It surprises me that many people are unfavourable to the series's production due to points such as "they all look the same", "too much reading". These I would dismiss as nonsense as in regards to the similarities of actors, when you start to watch a series in full, you learn the faces of the characters and 'who is who', so to judge this as a factor of bad producing on viewing 'one episode' is ridiculous.
After watching all the episodes, I would recommend this to many of my piers, as a; "gripping British styled drama, with shocking twists and strong acting from a wide range of international actors"
9/10 (creativity and respect for the inventiveness of creating an international drama)
