The British Embassy in Paris is holding a party. Jacob Pearce (Sean Harris) leads a well armed group to infiltrate the gather. Zara Taylor (Ritu Arya) is a MI6 operative. Vincent Taleb (Tewfik Jallab) is protecting the French Minister of Defense. Pearce led a Foreign Legion group in Afghanistan which was captured by the Taliban. He wants revenge for an unspecified conspiracy.
The "Has Fallen" franchise is not to be taken seriously. It is a franchise based on mindless action fun. Somebody is attacked. Something has fallen. It's not a hard concept or a home to smart writing. At least, this show is staying in that general area. It's not smartly written and there is action. It does abandon the concept of a short time period in the movies. The problem starts with the pile of cash. It is straight up Joker. It is non-realistic. That's the moment when I realized what this show is and what's its limitation. It's not to be taken seriously and it works to gin up tension whether it's deserved or not.

Started off in a promising way and actually quite enjoyed the first couple of episodes , then I lost it. The two leads spend their time being indestructible in a ridiculous fashion. Tiny female constantly killing tough guys in arm to arm combat. Every time the terrorists get them in their sights they let them go, as opposed to every other policeman they shoot on sight. We ended up shouting at the television to the terrorists, "Just shoot them" Then there are time wasting subplots going on with her druggy waster of a girlfriend. We ended up siding with terrorists in the end, got so fed up up with the whole thing. Just don't waste your time, it was so daft and frustrating to watch.
A seeming terrorist group takes over an embassy event. You are thinking "Die Hard." A woman, who later claims to "work in HR," fights back and kills two of the attackers. She is really good. She should have her own show. You are still thinking "Die Hard." The woman, and an Embassy bodyguard, successfully foil the initial attack. The attackers retreat through a hole in the swears just as the police crash through the front door. The police immediately notice our heroine, mainly because she is holding a weapon which was recently fired. So far, so good. Moments later, however, the camera picks up our heroine being treated by a medic, blanket around her. Somehow, in the mere blink of an eye, even though she was holding a weapon when the cavalry arrived, even though she holds no official position in law enforcement, she has already been cleared and released. Now you are thinking "WTF?" I am making this point to show the importance of subliminal cues in a fictional series. You are barely halfway into E01 of the series, and your brain is already screaming, "this makes no sense." And it doesn't. France has produced some incredible TV content (Spirale, Le Bureau) but this is not one of those. This is light, fluffy, fantasy stuff. You may like it. Or you may not.

Well what can I say?

The storyline pulls you into a gripping narrative with strong lead performances and plenty of unexpected twists that keep you engaged throughout. The cinematography captures the tension and grandeur of Paris under siege, enhancing the overall thrill. Fans of action thrillers and high-stakes drama will appreciate this series intensity and well-crafted scenes. A great addition to the 'Has Fallen' series!
If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Howard Overman and everyone else put in to make this happen.
I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.
Thank you.

I found this show entertaining-ish, the story is nothing new, even if action scenes are well produced. However, why on earth are all the dialogs in English... all the Paris cops and secret service speaking fluent English: on what planet do you live? And whenever they speak in French, it sounds quite off. I suspect the dialogs were first written in English then translated. As French viewer, this typical Hollywood (althouth its a British/French production) lack of realism ruined it for me.
The actor who plays the bad guy is really good, however I cant say the same about a good chunk of the cast.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe airport in episode 4 is located in Swansea, Wales, UK
- GoofsThe villain is a former Captain of the Légion étrangère (French Foreign legion). All NCOs and officers in the Legion wear Black Kepi in the Legion, not white! When he wears the uniform, the regimental badge is of the 2eme REI but the braiding worn on his shoulder is red of the regimental honor awarded to the 2eme REP. (He also has parachute badge, but that's possible and not uncommon for cadres of 2eme REI to have once served as parachute troops.)
- Quotes
Farid: After you kill everyone who wronged you, you think you'll find peace?
Jacob Pearce: There's no peace to be found. Not anymore. Not for someone like me.
