Season 1 Review: The performances of both the young and middle-aged versions of the main characters in The Woods are a good reason to keep watching. But the mystery is just complex and intriguing enough to justify watching those performances. Read full review

Season 1 Review: By the end, the story’s rush of exposition can be dizzying, but the pieces fall into place in ways that aren’t entirely unbelievable. And the details, remixed from so many other mystery stories by Coben and others, will make sense in almost any language. Read full review

I tried watching with the English dubbed soundtrack and the voice acting was very bad. I switched back to Polish and it was significantly better. It always takes me a couple of hours to sync into the rhythm of a foreign language I am not familiar with.

The casting and acting were good. Cinematography, editing. etc were all good. The writing and the script had issues - in my opinion. Perhaps the subtitling had a lot to do with that. The subtitling was obviously done by someone not fluent in the English language and culture. Collapse… Expand

I'm sorry to say that but of all netflix coben's adaptations, the polish ones are the worst. With the french one coming right behind. Surely the poles must have good directors but they weren't there. . This one is by far the worst. Rapid cuts, close shots, upside down shots, downside upI'm sorry to say that but of all netflix coben's adaptations, the polish ones are the worst. With the french one coming right behind. Surely the poles must have good directors but they weren't there. . This one is by far the worst. Rapid cuts, close shots, upside down shots, downside up shots, inclined shots, half-face shots, trembling shots, straight into the light shots.. go make your 'art' on weddings and cow documentaries and leave the thrillers to professionals ffs. Awful music too. Couldn't make it through the first episode… Expand
