Red Bracelets: We love the new version of the series featured in the Series Mania preview

Forget Thomas, Clement, Roxanne, Mehdi and Kome and prepare to fall under the spell of Benjy, Gabrielle, Zoë, Emma, ​​Nathan and Cesar, the new group of teenagers from the series Les Bracelets rouges who will fulfill them. Check back in the coming weeks on TF1.

Entitled Red Bracelets: The New Generation, this fourth season reboot, coming three years after the third season aired, marks the beginning of a new era for fiction loosely inspired by the life of Albert Espinosa and the Spanish Polseres vermelles format.

Granted, the hospital is the same, and some of the nursing staff is back (namely, characters played by Lionel Abelansky, Guillain Lowndes, Juliette Lambol, Duke Coma, and Emily Gahua-Can).

But this is ultimately the only link that remains between the two versions after the appearance of Les Bracelets roug: The New Generation, presented at Series Mania this Wednesday, March 22, presents a completely renewed group of sick teenagers whose hospitable and intimate journey tells us. The same precision and depth as ever between the dramas, life rages, disappointments, friendships and new love stories.

First there is Benjy (Léo Lorleac’h), who is suffering from a degenerative disease and hopes to finally fall in love, and his condition is unfortunately not improving. Gabriel (Noah Wodeck), his best friend, is in a wheelchair after a terrible car accident. While Zoë (Esther Blanc), the sister of a young intern camped by Michael Gregorio, discovers that his broken arm hides something more serious.

The central trio is rounded out by Emma (Cally Boyson), a teenager awaiting the results of her mother’s tests so that she can receive a kidney transplant and leave the hospital for good. And Nathan (Noah Derrick), ends up in the emergency room after a surfing accident. And who is a stranger to Gabrielle, who will have to share her room with the one she wanted to see.

Previewing Series Mania this Wednesday, March 22nd, the first two episodes are already establishing this new generation as a true smash hit. We immediately fall under the spell of Benjy, Gabriel, Emma, ​​and others, whose group dynamic is somewhat different from what we saw in the first three seasons.

Always so disturbing and depressing – especially when it comes to the contrast between the hope of most of the characters to get away from it and the everyday life of Benji, who really has no hope – Les Bracelets rouges, the new generation also surprises with its true beauty. Comedy moments.

Screenwriters Cécile Berger, Solenn Le Priol, Pascal Fontanil, Vinny Vatimbella, and Alexandre Manéville willingly went where the series had not gone before, especially with the high school harassment of Gabriel, the only gay character. in the lane. A terrible ordeal that, unfortunately, will take him to the hospital.

As soon as we finished watching the series, we happily realize that we have never missed the old characters – obviously nothing has been removed from the many features of seasons 1 to 3 – and that the characters of the parents, who are perfectly interpreted by Samira Lachhab. (Tomorrow Belongs to Us), Emily Cain (What Shall We Do with God?), Yanig Samot (Balthazar) or Nadège Bosson-Diane (A More Beautiful Life), never steal the show from teenagers, who are the real beat generation of this novelty.

Six young actors, Léo Lorleac, Noah Wodec, Callie Boisson, Esther Blanc, Noah Derrick (Un Si Grand Soleil) and Maxime Pipette (as well as César, who gradually becomes close to Zoë and the group) who create sparks and already seem to have bright futures . In short, this new version of the red bracelet really has it all.
