AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 3.3/5

According to Lia (5/5):

“A top-notch American action comedy we love with crazy trashy humor. We are treated to a sequence of hilarious cutscenes that are utterly terrifyingly effective. The characters are well narrated and great actors. This series is really crazy! I advise !“

According to JC (5/5):

“Hilarious and totally insane, paranoid Las Vegas with Russian terrorists and totally WTF special forces. Well played, well paced, well chosen soundtrack, everything I like.“

According to Valentin Gigot (4.5/5):

“Totally WTF series, full of action and twists in 8 episodes, the actors are very well suited to the characters of the series, for the rest it is Las Vegas, a city that has no meaning and interest in itself. Except it’s a collection of all the follies and foibles of life. For those looking for a brainless and crazy series, you’re welcome!“

why does it work

Netflix seems to have found its audience with Chargés à block, the latest from the creators of Cobra Kai, who bet on nostalgia by creating this satire that takes a look at the action comedies of the 1990s. Chargés à bloc is a bit too bad a trip. In a 90s action movie! Here, it’s his irreverent tone that seems to hit the mark.

Number 2: Almost a normal family

The Sandels are a very ordinary family: Adam is a priest, Ulrika is a lawyer, and their daughter Stella is 19 years old. They live perfectly in the residential suburb of Lund. But one day everything changes when Stella is accused of murder and thrown into prison. Bewildered parents don’t know what to do. What happened ? They want to help Stella at any cost, but deep down what do they know about their daughter? and each other?

AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 3.5/5

According to negussa (4/5):

“Wonderful and addictive, this series does its job by not revealing the end of the story until the last 10 minutes.”

According to patosud26 (4.5/5):

“We know the success of Swedish thrillers and their efficiency, and this ultra-fast series is the same. I’m a real weather bike when I’m looking for a culprit. Finally, the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, until the final verdict is true, but still excellent.

The actors are all very convincing in their roles, especially the two female actresses who play young Stella and Ulrika, her mother. I’ve said it before, but I like the fact that Netflix allows you to discover other series besides American and English. Nice piece.”

According to Harry6489 (4/5):
“A pastor, a lawyer, a blue flower girl, a sex predator and a murderer… these are the ingredients of this Swedish mini-series, well, not bad at all.” I really enjoyed the complexity and mix of characters. different personalities.

Good plot and original story. 6 episodes can be watched for our utmost enjoyment. In general, I think that Scandinavian series are quite well done, and it is true in this case as well.

why does it work

Mini-series continue to be a hit on Netflix, and the success of “Almost Normal Family”, which has held the top spot for some time, proves it once again. The land of thrillers and other detective fiction, Sweden offers a new work that is worthy news, but actually a shocking bestseller. With its breathtaking pace, attractive heroine and turn, the almost normal family convinced the subscribers who were hooked on this exciting serial.

Number 3: Squid Game: Challenge

In this show, 456 real players will enter the competition with the hope of winning $4.56 million, a prize that can change lives. Throughout challenges inspired by the original series (plus a few additions to create surprises), each player’s strategies, alliances and character will be put to the test as other competitors are eliminated.

AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 2.5 out of 5

According to DENIS DUPUY (2.5 out of 5):

“It’s too long, Squid Game is primarily a game and there’s too much blah blah, it lacks rhythm, we don’t find out today that one can manipulate, make alliances and lie to make a lot of money… not much. It makes sense to watch these 10 episodes .”

According to Rcotteaux (0.5 out of 5):

“What a disappointment! Not even worthy of a bad reality show. ZERO POINTS! Nothing to do with the first season. Total disgrace.”

According to Rachid Fed (1 of 5):

“What can I say, I cut it off after barely 10 minutes, so yes, it’s not a sequel, it’s an adapted show, but the fact that we’re doing the same tests with candidates who are over-acting in front of the camera doesn’t deserve it. Let’s waste time. In short, NETFLIX, you’ve got it all wrong!”

why does it work

It is a strange paradox that the success of this series, despite the low average rating of viewers on AlloCiné: only 2.5 out of 5. Perhaps a large number of Netflix subscribers believed – wrongly – that this was already a second season and not a game show adaptation of the Squid Game universe?

For fans of the shows Ninja Warrior and Takeshi’s Castle, these Netflix-style obstacles might be to your liking. Most of the other viewers will wait for the second season to be released on the platform…

Number 4: A surgeon who wishes you good health?

This documentary series about a thoracic surgeon known for his work in regenerative medicine exposes one of the most serious frauds in modern medical history.

AlloCiné audience rating:

According to Michael Faria Rodriguez (4.5/5): “It is a very good documentary, well constructed. It’s amazing to know that this whole story is very recent and without any influence…“

According to Sonia I. (3.5/5): “I don’t understand how his colleagues blindly trusted him without asking him to show his research and clinical trials..”

why does it work

Netflix continues to do what it does best: documentaries about stories that are as harrowing as they are thought-provoking. A surgeon who wishes you luck is interested in the complex figure of Italian Paolo Macariini, who is first highly respected for his revolutionary practice, then accused of fraud and lying. Three episodes paint a portrait of this charismatic man, half genius, half storyteller. The perfect mix between Tinder Scammer and Over-the-Counter Murder.

Number 5: Sweet Home

When brutal monsters spread fear and threaten humanity, a teenager afflicted with inner demons becomes the best chance to save his neighbors.

AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 3.8 out of 5

According to support_CH (5/5):

“Even if it remains a horror, fiction series, this series (season two) is incredible. A must watch and even a rewatch if you want. Highly recommended.”

According to Nanoune (5/5):

“Awesome, this series is killer, which is rare when it comes to Netflix productions. The special effects and action sequences are spectacular, especially with the monsters, it’s very well done. The casting is very good and the story too. Excellent. Very good It’s worth a detour to watch.”

According to Marjolaine A. (2.5/5):

“Despite good intentions, decent writing, and good casting, Sweet Home suffers from mediocre special effects and a plot that doesn’t move much forward. As a result, some episodes seem too long and it’s never scary.”

why does it work

Three years ago, Sweet Home was one of South Korea’s first global hits on Netflix. While the series isn’t perfect, it has captivated audiences with a compressed and addictive story about neighbors forced to band together in the abandoned Green Home Apartments at the start of a monster apocalypse.

This K-drama adopted the concepts that made the webtoon it was inspired by so popular. But this isn’t just another monster, apocalyptic, horror series: it takes fans on a journey of self-preservation, humanity, and spine-chilling exploits to the death.
