Is it worth checking out?
After the plan of the heart and Christmas stream On Netflix, it’s Disney+’s turn to jump into the French romantic comedy genre with a series irresistibleSix 30-minute episodes of which are available on the platform today.
Led by a talented cast such as the star couple Camelia Jordana-Theo Navarro-Muss, and the imaginative screenwriter Clémence Madeleine-Perdrilat, who directed En Thérapie season 2 and wrote for series such as Nona and her Daughters, Tapp and Les Guts. De Dieu, this rom-com centered on a love hero, already had everything, on paper, to intrigue us and take us away. And after watching the entire first season, it’s clear that the bet paid off for Disney+.
Even if it overwhelms Adele, the protagonist, with panic attacks taken to the extreme every time she is in the presence of Arthur, the object of her affections, Irrésistible has a good idea to bring its story and its characters together. Realism and a more relevant world than ever that does good and speaks to as many people as possible.
Be it in a representation of Paris that favors the 19th and 20th arrondissements, which are rarely shown on screen in fiction, over the ultra-clichéd and touristy districts of Emile Paris. Or the powerful themes he focuses on throughout the season, such as the trauma that a troubled relationship or heartache can leave in the past, the fear of commitment in today’s couples, or the importance of taking time to explore yourself and others. In a new romantic relationship.
And then there’s this professional world that Adele thrives in – the world of podcasts – and which Arthur also enters with a new idea for the show imagined by Adele and her team: analyzing love stories through math and science.
More fashionable than ever in fiction, podcasts have until now mostly been the source of, or inspired by, so-called “true crime” series, such as Only Murders in a Building or The Truth Must Be Told.
Here they find a different resonance and support the romantic, sociological and psychological purpose of this romantic comedy as another that makes us laugh and make us dream. But not only that, because it also offers beautiful moments of emotion, such as when a supporting character gives a powerful and moving performance in the final episode of “La Maladie d’Amour”, Arthur and Adele’s show on the mic.
Modern and atypical, Irrésistible is a beautiful drama that owes a lot to its world, its dialogues and its beautiful and intelligent writing, which takes a different, refreshing and charming look at today’s love stories. ‘Today. And that allows for some surprising and profound side-steps, like the sequence above, or Episode 4, which takes us into Adele’s household and ends the marriage of Arthur and his spouse Solenn at the end of their lives.
As for Camelia Jordana and Theo Navarro-Mussi, very fair and moving, they make an attractive and realistic rom-com couple, the kind we want to see more often. And they are very well surrounded, namely Corentin Fila, Marion Seclin, Salome Divaels and Alicia Hawa, who work well and also create sparks. In short, for its first French romance series, Disney+ found the recipe truly irresistible.
