Number 1: Lupine

25 years ago, young Assane Diop’s life was turned upside down when his father died after being accused of a crime he did not commit. Today, Asan inspires the revenge of his hero, Arsene Lupine – a gentleman thief…

Audience rating on AlloCiné (3.2/5):

According to Lucy Morestin (5/5):

“Like other seasons, it’s always full of surprises, a lot of suspense, we go through a lot of different emotions, it’s a great season!!”

According to Sherazad Mnara (5/5):

“Great third season, loved it. Best casting as well as intrigue, I’m sure it’s a success, I was looking forward to it.”

According to Bastien F. (1/5):

“A series that declines from season to season. The first one was surprising, the second one we started to ask ourselves questions … we felt that the continuation was forced. For this third season, we are clearly very far from the past quality in terms of. A story that deserves a TV movie, such as “under the sun” in terms of the acting of actors who combine ready-made sentences and clichés with scenes and all kinds of … also a visual quality that raised a little Mr. 1″.

why does it work

For the third week in a row, Lupin, the most watched French series in the world, is in the top ten. The charm still works thanks to Omar Sy, who is in great shape, strutting all over the place, and the Parisian setting is as beautiful as ever.

Number 2: Bodysuits

Four detectives from four different eras of London investigate the same murder.

Audience rating on AlloCiné (3.4/5):

According to Salimegharbi (5/5):

“A very well made exciting series. I don’t understand such a low rating. Each episode has a surprise ending. We travel between 4 eras without getting lost. Great series”

According to Lawrence D. (4/5):

“Good surprise! British know-how again: well composed, original. The main thing is not the idea of ​​​​time travel, but the criticism of the dictatorship of kindness, love and benevolence – perhaps the most terrible tyranny, sweet and sweet. It looks very good. And 4 investigations in one: daring , but successful.”

According to Lecter H. (3.5/5):

“Good series, but too complicated. 4 eras, 4 stories, 4 groups of characters and you don’t have to be eloquent to understand that it’s all connected. Have 4 periods to discover with your own series, costumes, social life and its own technology a lot Variety brings, and I welcome the disorienting side created by this abundance of transitions from one period to another. You can’t really criticize Bodies for being boring: it’s so rich in every way. There are downsides to the advantage.

why does it work

A dark synopsis, a time travel story, an investigation of 4 eras… on paper, Bodies has something to like. Especially since it is an English production, the quality of which we know. Netflix didn’t need to advertise this 8-episode mini-series that follows Lupine a few days later.

Number 3: Elite

Las Encinas is the most competitive and fashionable school in Spain, welcoming elite children. It is at this school that three working-class children are taken when their school is destroyed and the students are then distributed to several institutions. They thought they were lucky…but maybe they’re not so lucky? The conflict between those who have everything and those who have nothing is explosive and will lead to murder. Who is really behind this crime? Is this one of the new arrivals? Or is there something darker to hide?

Audience rating on AlloCiné (3.7/5):

According to tisma (4/5):

“If you like “How to deal with murder”, “Las chicas del cable” or “Gossip Girl”, the series “Elite” will definitely make you happy! A lot of twists, secrets, if you want it, you have it, betrayal, sensuality! The ingredients that make ‘Elite’ a great teen drama, but a small ‘big series’“.”

According to Vanessa L (3.5/5):

“Elite is a surprising series and it must be said that it lives up to Casa de Papel, the Spaniards show us that they can be great with their series! I admit once I started it was hard to put the series down and so I watched two seasons as the second one just came out on Netflix!“

According to Lisa B. (2/5):

“Personally, I didn’t like it, it’s been seen and seen: poor boy who goes to a rich school, who falls in love with the rich daddy’s girl and spoils the bad boy with a 3 IQ, a pest who destroys others, repressed. Homos and stereotypes about Muslims…. The script is long and flat, the plot is non-existent and so predictable that we already know who and the killer… This is Gossip Girl, Spanish version“

why does it work

In the realm of the most hated series – and paradoxically the most followed – the elite are untouchable. This Spanish series, however sexual in the script, continues with its seventh season, which is still characterized by sulphurous scenes, its characters as unbearable as they are attractive and criminal intrigues. It is also for these reasons that society is, in spite of everything, there. One more season and it’s over!

Number 4: The Fall of the House of Usher

Lord Roderick Usher, worried about his suffering companion, welcomes his childhood friend into his home with its strange and depressing atmosphere after calling him for help.

Audience rating on AlloCiné (3.7/5):

According to Fabien R. (4.5/5):

“Sure, the pace is slow, but the visuals are gorgeous, the script is very well-crafted, and the tension builds to a crescendo throughout the episodes. The finale is dazzling with poetry and precision. A Netflix series that ticks all the boxes. Grand.“

According to Lesmondesdelolivier (3/5):

“A fan of Mike Flanagan with his masterpiece Haunting Hill House, I was looking forward to this series and his interpretation of the Edgar Poe story. Without fail, it’s still a disappointment. In the course of the episodes, the narrative thread is exhausted, and at the end it is fed again. But meh! Moreover, we are not really into horror or emotion. Great assets of Hill House and Bliss Estate.”

According to Emmaaa (1.5/5):

“Mike Flanagan should have stopped at The Haunting of Hill House back when Netflix still offered quality. Everything that followed got worse and worse. Until we get to this series. Everything is coming together as a Netflix series, we have all ethnicities in the siblings, and half of them are LGBT. In short, instead of focusing on the image he conveys, Mike Flanagan should focus on the quality of the content he offers because it becomes indescribable.“

why does it work

The undisputed king of the horror series, Mike Flanagan continues his journey through the genre and takes on the master of Gothic literature, Edgar Allan Poe. He adapts one of his best-known stories, The Fall of the House of Usher, to better reinvent it with a chaotic family history of power grabs, manipulation, and mysterious murders. All with a rather deliciously satirical tone.

Number 5: Pacto de Silencio

Driven by a violent desire for revenge, the famous influencer plunges headlong into the lives of four women to uncover the truth about his birth.

Viewer Rating on AlloCiné: 3.5/5

According to Lia (5/5):

“Typically a Latino telenovela style series that I love and that will please all fans of the genre. Netflix should release more like this. All the ingredients are there to captivate the audience from the first episode with mystery, tension, sex, violence and lots of suspense and twists . Plus, 18 episodes isn’t too long, the cast is good, and the visuals are great! I recommend it!”

According to Enorachauvel (5/5):

“Wow, this series is simply incredible, now in my top 3 favorite series! Action, intrigue, suspense, every episode until the end! Truly an amazing series! It will be a huge hit in no time!”

According to Harry6489 (3.5/5):

“When I watched the first episode, I wanted to skip this series, the characters were so disgusting, but hey, I like to watch at least three episodes before making a decision.

Well, it really gets better from the second episode on; The storylines fall into place and the plot goes deeper with the characters in this story. Action, suspense, violence…all the elements to have a good time. Casting is quite successful. A good telenovela enhanced by amphetamines.”

why does it work

Pacto de Silencio is a series aimed at an adult audience that combines all the ingredients that make a soap successful: revenge and betrayal against the background of sexual romance. Coming straight from Mexico, this new production offers 18 episodes to follow the story of Brenda, a young influencer who follows in the footsteps of her biological mother. Fans of the show are already hoping for a second season, but Netflix has yet to announce anything.
