Already saw this on the BBC. Apart from the story and the acting, as someone who lived in Bangkok during those times I can tell you that the attention to detail in the production is absolutely meticulous. You will really be transported to 1970's Bangkok.
If they had paid attention to detail that much, they would have cast actors that truly speak their character's languages. VERY very immersion-breaking and annoying...
The Serpent is one of the best series in 2021, what mesmerized me the most is how evil Ajay is, it's unfortunate we didn't get to know his full story. He played the evil character with so much ease, scared the shit out of me!
There’s this rumor that’s been put out that Sobhraj had Ajay killed, which I think is absolutely not true. It’s a useful fact and it plays into the mythology of the story, but another associate of Sobhraj from Bangkok, a German guy, disproved it. After Sobhraj and Leclerc had been arrested in India, several months after he was in prison, this guy had a visit at his home in Germany and phone calls from Ajay. It would be pretty difficult for him to have been killed by Sobhraj when Sobhraj was already in prison. What happened to him is a complete mystery.”
This show had me holding my breath at some points- especially the one where Dominique was trying to escape . Also nice to see that a brave diplomate from my own country basically cracked this case 👏🏼
@@NinisRecipesbyIngridElvir iknow 🥺 I especially found it hard too when he was calling his parents and heard their voices again after so long, after all he was still quite young and hearing his parents again but being afraid maybe not ever coming to them must’ve been so awful 😢 I know the feel when you’re a bit scared and alone in a foreign country and you hear your parent’s voice, tears come easily, let alone if you were in his situation !
Dominique escape scence in airport was heart pumping moment...And the series is based on real event.. After this series I Cannot imagine to travel alone to aboard countries No never
Or even with others. Just proves you can still get killed. Wow. Frightening thought. Never say too much. Like you are travelling alone, gone a long time, etc. And don’t wave money if traveller’s cheques around for goodness sake! So many lessons. Careful who you go off with, accept drinks or food from, etc.
I was travelling in Thailand in the late 70s and Charles Sobhraj was the hot topic of the time................. Tahar Rahim nailed it.. But I`ve gotta admit I hated him through the whole show.
Dominique, you are a great detail and i felt everything you lived.The feeling of being stuck in affected me so much that I still feel anxious..This serie is my gem for sure.
What an amazing show! I just watched the whole series in one night! Amazingly acted by all, thrilling story. The Serpent will have you all in his grasp! Wow!
I did as well. It's hard to believe now how supportive the majority of people were of cruel and unjust treatment in the wake of 9/11. I though Tahar Rahim was great in it, and Jodie Foster was good but she sure made me feel old. I saw Taxi Driver and Freaky Friday in the mid-70's as a kid, and seeing her know??? She reminds me of my grandma.
@@kirkpflager1696 if u were a kid when u watched taxi driver in the 70’s (she was 12 years old in 1976 when it was filmed) sooooo How much older could she be from u now. ?
@@infinityblablabla yea and why not just cast a Dutch actor. His Dutch accent was cringe. And it was a cliche performance that any actor at that level can pull off. Nothing special. I don't know how this guy thinks he was a good actor.
I watched this on BBC One and I was hooked. It's slow at first but it get better as it goes on. You just want the guy to be caught. To the Indian commenters who loved Randeep Hooda's take on Charles Sobhraj please give The Serpent mini-series and Tahar Rahim a chance.
Tahar Rahim has done solid work for years. I first saw his talent in "Un prophète" in 2009. A very good French crime drama for anyone who wants to see some of his early work.
@@DreamsSketcher I agree, I remember watching it recently and being a bit confused about the timelines because it's all jumbled up. It was still one of the best shows I've ever watched though.
The actor together with the director and the operator deserve all Oscars!!! Tahar Rahim has something like infernal magic in this series... 🖤 Highly recommended!!!
The show is just incredibly good -- so atmospheric, you are completely drawn in. Work of art. Would like to see a spin off or some kind of fictionalization of this story.
Me watching The Serpent - watch and forgot to breath - pause and read about the characters on the internet to know if they are still alive or not - continue watching, feeling a little bit less stressed out 😅
Sadly she completely breaks my immersion with her broken french and bad accent. Wish they had casted a real french canadian in her place so it wouldnt be so jarring. Not to discredit her effort she clearly had a lot of coaching, but nah, this doesnt cut it at all.
@@Alexelliste I'm sure its' super annoying for native french speakers, but for us who don't speak french she definitely had me fooled believing she was french or french Canadian. Only to find out she was in the UK show Emmerdale. Did not recognise her at all.
@@mikedice69420 Now try to get old without burn-outs and crying for mommy ... The organ you’ve in your hand several times a day...just for peeing and idleness ? 🙃
The whole cast of this show is just extraordinary. Just to name a few I worry won't get the attention they deserved, i found Ajay so charming, Herman so smart, Nadine so sweet, Paul so exhilarating. Et j'estime que l'acteur qui joue Charles est un des meilleurs acteurs vivant
this series is amazing it also shows that those people in power at the "embassy" Most of them will not care if anything happens to you abroad! I salute you Herman Knippenberg ! you said in one of the episode that. it is the reason why you are there abroad to help!
I was struck by that too. But I always knew that some places in the world have very different attitudes then home. Westerners perhaps assume too much. Life is cheap in many parts of the world, and we are entitled.
For me, the most disturbing character is Ajay! Like we already know psychological situation of Charles and Marie but the ease at which Ajay accepted his role is sooooooo alarming! Like he has done it before 😬
Marie, the white girl from Canada, is set up as the conscience of the show. But it's Ajay, whose motivations make no sense, who gets us the closest to this "messy 70s" moment. Dancing and genuinely enjoying himself most of the time, Ajay is the true composite of Woodstock and Manson Family, the 70s of Jonestown, of Carlos the Jackal and Mesrine.
@@ReputationManagementDCannell exactly what irks me with his character. He might not be able to do it by himself, so I guess Charles can be more like an enabler for him.
This show was very well executed, the actors, their acting, the production, everything was so well made, my thoughts go to the young intrepids who set out with big dreams but never made it home.
Read the book a long time ago, which is very good. Since the real Sobraj is half Vietnamese, half Indian, baffled why they chose an actor who is neither to play him. An actor's job is to pretend, so it could still work, but he looks nothing like the real Sobraj.
NETFLIX really delivered with this series. Watching their movies is like playing the lottery - every now and then you win. Well done and an incredible real life tale.
Aftermath : Before his final arrest in NEPAL. Charles had manipulated a big shot lawyers daughter, the lawyers daughter was so head over heals on Charles that she went on to defend his case. She didn’t win the case and Charles is still in a prison in Nepal.
I've been waiting for this. I've seen "Main Aur Charles" And this looks like it goes into more depth. Plus, it seems like it's been an age since I've seen Jenna Coleman... and *damn* does she look good in these '70s style clothes. The costume designer deserves a raise!
You know an actor is GOOD when you just start to hate him as a person besides the show. It wil be hard to watch anything he plays again. Well done Tahar, or should I say... Charles
This show is not glorifying Charles and his crimes. This show celebrates the fight of a young Dutch diplomat who gave it all to stop Sobraj from his crime escalation and eventually brought him to justice.
👍👍👍Within a month, the drama was viewed by 31 million people on the BBC. Among them, the actors are great, especially the male and female protagonists. The expression of JENNA COLEMAN's inner drama is great.The edited picture and soundtrack seem to be different from the BBC. But it is also great.It's worth watching again.
I was glued to my TV under my snuggly blanket watching this fantastic series! Netflix does it again! This is one of my favorite series of all time! Bravo 👏
From the second I saw this trailer on Netflix I just knew I had to watch this series!! Written and produced SO SO well👌🏼 Just blows my mind that this is based on real events 🤯😩
And this is what you call a trailer! Spooky background music to depict he was a criminal and the BBC trailer seemed like a western thriller with him in the positive role🙄
FYI, the trailer music is a French song from the 60's by rock singer Johnny Hallyday called "Le pénitencier". It means "The doors of the jail house are about to close, and this is where I will spend the rest of my life, like other guys before me The sun was not made for us, only at night you can cheat You who are lost tonight, tomorrow you can win"
Okey but can we talk about the fact that the meaning of song "house of the rising sun" (that they choosed for the trailer) fits so good with the show ?
all the actors are intense, they played their characters beautifully, i'm always at the edge of my seat especially it always end with a cliffhanger until the final episode
This show is stressing me out but I love it and I can't/won't stop watching. I just finished Episode 3, that part were Dominique was trying to escape was breathtaking. 😫😭
Excellent serie. I love the depiction of those hippies back in those days, the special feelings of these years 1970's especially to see Katmandu and Thailand so gorgeousness.
@@sujeetnair1748 Ajay Chaudhary was an Indian descent guy who met Charles accidentally & went out to help him in his crimes & murder ,the series shows as them parting ways but there is a high possibility he was killed by Charles,he was spotted in Germany but dats unconfirmed reports & has never been seen again
I just finished it yesterday. It was amazing !!! I feel a bit sad & mad Charles is still alive until today. 🙄😡 Fascinating set up, love the scene at Herman's house, the old wooden house. The design more less the same with old traditional Malay house in Malaysia. Dominique's scenes were my favourite. I felt scared and very sorry for him. Luckily he is survived. Condolences to all the young travellers who can't back home. 😔
One of the best series I've watched lately. And I just finished it (August 2024). The script, the dialogues, the scenes, the way I felt it was really 1975+, the acting, the styling, the sceneries, the effects , everything was top-notch. But, may we appreciate how incredibly charming, beautiful, and gorgeous the actress who portrayed Monique, is? Like, it's been years I haven't seen such a naturally beautiful woman on TV and I didn't even know who this actress was. Congratulations to every single one of them who contributed to this amazing series.
"To all the young intrepids who set out with big dreams but never made it home" That line in the end touched my soul really deep
i cried so so much...
Mine too I was crying poor guys.
OMG ME TOO!! I thought I was being a softie. Nice to know Im not the only one who got hit with that image and caption.
And Dominique. Thank God he made it out♥️
@@knitchywa I KNOW RIGHT?! I was rooting for him to make it.
OMG Dominique escape scene is so intense same with Nadine as undercover.
True. It has my heart in mouth
Big mistake for Nadine to get into that car with them. Monique was terrifying in that scene at the post office. Put a chill down my spine.
Yes absolutely. I was so scared that they wouldn't make it.
That scene for real. Had me almost fainting.
Yes, I had tears in my eyes and was on the edge of my seat. Plus, he is incredibly handsome... 😍
Within 5 minutes watching the first episode I knew this serie will be epic. Thank you Netflix for adding this gem to your repetoire.

Asked myself the same thing when I seen the ending like omg is he out here doing good or what
Watched it in one night. Perfect series and mesmerizing acts of Tahar Rahim. I think it’s the best i have ever watched for a long long time.
This show is amazing I hope it blows up when it goes onto netflix
I just finished it yesterday. It was amazing !!! I feel a bit sad & mad Charles is still alive until today. 🙄😡 Fascinating set up, love the scene at Herman's house, the old wooden house. The design more less the same with old traditional Malay house in Malaysia.
Dominique's scenes were my favourite. I felt scared and very sorry for him. Luckily he is survived. Condolences to all the young travellers who can't back home. 😔
Tbh, Dominique is precious
@@thedam271 oh yes, and Angela too, she was an angel.
She was pretty patient with Herman but then she just had enough
It's so good I can't stop dreaming about living in 70s, Jesus F Christ watch this right now!
This was an incredible show. The performances and writing were outstanding!!
I remember reading about this guy, if they do this good it'll be amazing
Finished the whole series last night! It was great!!
never trust a man with a haircut and glasses like that
Lol...lesson learnt.
You can just to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
Kinda looks like Jeffery dahmer
@@Joe-pe8fe he reminds me of Kylo Ren
Jim Jones
Shouldnt have chosen such a fine actor to play Charles cuz I was just sitting like 🥵🥵
Word, he was so fine
@@vlapratt1 same, I felt bad thinking that
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
@@kellyfade9204 when he choked the girl I just sat there like 😀
The real Sobraj was also described to be good-looking
Am crying out loud knowing this is a true life story
Herman Knippenberg, thank you for being a wonderful person!!!!
Squealing and clutching my blanket during the Dominique airport scene. What suspense!!
Tahar and Jenna KICKED ASS in this 👏👏👏
One of the best series I've watched lately. And I just finished it (August 2024).
The script, the dialogues, the scenes, the way I felt it was really 1975+, the acting, the styling, the sceneries, the effects , everything was top-notch.
But, may we appreciate how incredibly charming, beautiful, and gorgeous the actress who portrayed Monique, is? Like, it's been years I haven't seen such a naturally beautiful woman on TV and I didn't even know who this actress was.
Congratulations to every single one of them who contributed to this amazing series.
Best show ever , thank u Netflix for this gem 💎
Absolutely obsessed with this show. It was a piece of art honestly.
Excellent series , with a special touch and view into what once was. Yesterday is a strange land as they say..
Tahar Rahim is such a good actor !!
In the middle of this now, a must watch folks! THIS IS GOOD
One of the best series between last year and this year ........
This looks really good. April can't get here fast enough.
Tahar Rahim & Jenna Coleman WOW! Fantastic actors. They were really amazing! I am impressed.
