What is Infiniti, the mystery space thriller from Canal +, worth? (important)

The thrill of a world shared between hostile air and land, Infiniti shows a clear appetite for variety. Even if it means sometimes too much.

Tirelessly brought to the screen, the excitement finds, sometimes literally, chances to be renewed. Recently, the British Vigil it made observations between land and sea, even in the worrisome hull of a submarine. We remember the Polar Day, the epigone of‘Insomniawhich remained on the ground but deployed in geographical areas under unprecedented restrictions. Infinity – which starts this evening on Canal + – plays on all these tables.

In the space of the world, the ISS and its inhabitants stop transmitting, while the body of an astronaut is found in a macabre place in the unpredictable Kazakh steppes. An alienated astronaut and local soldiers will try to see things more clearly, in what at first appears to be an investigation with dim traps that writers like Grangé or Chattam would not deny. We quickly recognize the contours of the obvious thriller, the beginning of the crisis that exists between the past and the present and, without spoiling the rest of the plot, of metaphysical SF with many “Tarkovskian” sounds. There’s a lot to see and almost a lot to appreciate in this impressive little technical series.

But the various elements of the plot fight at the gate and, to end the end, agree with different fortunes, when they are not prevented from being revealed, by questions of priority. What remains is the investigative appetite of its two writers, along with its co-producers, who were already leading the series. The missionCousin’s perfect job.
