TV1 premiered last night La última oportunidad (Original title: Une chance de trop (2015); English title: No Second Chance). A French action-thriller min-series divided into 6 episodes of 52 minutes each, adapted from Harlan Coben’s stand-alone novel No Second Chance. Directed by François Velle and starring: Alexandra Lamy, Pascal Elbe, Lionel Abelanski, Lionnel Astier, Hippolyte Girardot. Production: Sydney Gallonde (VAB). Broadcaster in France: TF1. Last Tuesday night we could watch the first two episodes and I look forward to watching the rest of the series during the coming Tuesdays, at a rate of two episodes each. The series looks pretty good.
