Blood of the Vine Season 2
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
My husband and I enjoy this French series, Blood of the Vine! We have seen the first two seasons, and are looking forward to Season 3. Pierre Arditti is wonderful as the wine expert and solver of mysteries related to wine and the French estates. We like to think that we are learning a bit about the French and their wine, but whether that is true or not, it is an entertaining series. I think we like that the “star” is of a “certain age” and that his lover is also of his age and not some young chick who could be his daughter. Good series. I recommend it. In French with English subtitles.- Famed Girl Archaeologist
Pleasant, light “crime” drama from France with beautiful scenery, and enough difference from American crime drama to warrant a view. Protagonist Benjamin Lebel is portrayed by Pierre Arditi who is a wine expert who travels the country solving problems at vineyards and of their owners. Has two assistants, a male and the incredibly beautiful, Catherine DeMaiffe. Both the series and Ms. DeMaiffe are worth a view. Well acted, brightly filmed and the stories are not dark and vicious like some dramas. No where near as good as Spiral but if you liked any of the mild English crime dramas set in the British countryside then raise the rating to four stars. Have purchased both series. I think some of the translation of french to english from MHz could be more accurate and it would be nice to be able to turn off the subtitles.- Patrick J. Brunet
I had heard about this series, but I didn’t realize how WONDERFUL the series is until I watched it, a couple of times; I fell i in love with it. The casting is excellent, from the major character (Arditti) to his girlfriend (her character’s name is ‘France’) to everyone else in it. I don’t speak French so at first I had trouble reading the English subtitles since the characters speak so rapidly; but I got used to it. The photography is remarkable and after each episode I had a sudden need, NEED for French wine!!!-Adele C.
