This Wednesday, March 8, International Women’s Day, France 2 aired the first episode of Les Siffleurs, a mini-series created by Nathalie Marchak.
This 2×90-minute fiction follows Marianna Kachem (Nadia Fares), a police officer in charge of investigating the disturbing disappearance of Lila (Ludmila Makowski), a young student who created a social media account denouncing the men who harassed her. in the street.
An important mini-series that puts street harassment at the heart of its plot. But contrary to all expectations, it seems the scripting has left netizens somewhat disappointed, who were quick to share their frustrations on Twitter.
“I found the topic very important, the actors are quite good… but the direction and the script are so heavy“, “I don’t understand where this series was going…“- wrote some Internet users.
Many also took issue with the Whistlers theme, criticizing that the mini-series may have the opposite effect that screenwriters Natalie Marchak and Laurent Bartini wanted.
“On the other hand, making false accusations will make people believe the victim even less, bad idea…“, “No, but seriously… they must have condemned it and seeing how it goes, they managed to turn it into something very sexist.“- they write on Twitter.
Whistlers at the top of the auditorium
Despite all that criticism on social media, The Whistlers put themselves at the top of the auditions this Wednesday night. Produced by Nadia Fares and Charles Berling, the series garnered nearly 3.48 million viewers, a 16% audience share in the general public and a 5.7% market share among women under fifty who are responsible for purchasing.
A score that allowed the mini-series to beat M6, which aired a new episode of Top Chef last night.
