According to Lecter_H (4.5 out of 5):

“This adaptation of Guy Ritchie’s 2020 film, which I appreciated the most, hits hard again. He is always very elegant, respectful and typical of casual British aristocracy with that particular English humor. I love it. It tells a crazy story that begins with the distribution of an inheritance and which ends up in organized crime with unimaginable consequences. There we find drug deals, gangster rivalry, a lot of money that goes around, spoiled shots, revenge, shadows, theft, power and political influence: James Bond can almost go and put on his clothes (…)“

According to Harry6489 (4 of 5):

“The TV series “The Gentlemen” created by Guy Ritchie is a real treat for the eyes and ears. Taking the codes of the film of the same name, it immerses us in the world of London gangsters, where dark humor, sharp dialogues and explosive situations follow each other at an amazing pace. From the very first moments, we recognize Guy Ritchie’s touch. The production is dynamic, the shots careful and the soundtrack impeccable. We enjoy these verbal contests between colorful characters (…)“

According to manoly64 (2 of 5):

“Well, I love Guy Ritchie movies, but here… I already want to kill my brother because he annoys me so much, the problem is that every character is taken to extremes, so it’s hard to relate to. The drug addicted guy owes 8 million and steals even more, and since he doesn’t have an agent, the brother tries to help, while the other one keeps messing up, in short, it can’t be like that, IRL is ruining everything. When will we see scripts that hold water and characters that we will grow attached to that are quite annoying…;“

why does it work

Directed by Guy Ritchie and adapted from his eponymous feature film, The Gentlemen is Netflix’s top-rated series. This success is not surprising, because the promotion always finds its audience on the platform. It must be said that the English director pulls out all the stops to offer an explosive cocktail of breakneck pacing, wild casting and intense action scenes.

Number 2: Furies

The picture

AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 3/5

According to Lucy Mason (5/5):

“Finally a good French action series! The fight scenes are great (we see that there is a budget in real life, the camera does not swing in all directions and the choreographies are crazy), we have fun and immerse ourselves in the slightly crazy world, but the charm of reinvented Paris. The cast is great and we are never bored! It moves a thousand miles an hour and has a well-crafted story that always keeps us wanting to see what happens next.“

According to Nathan Grantest (4/5):

“It’s not a masterpiece, it’s a very good series. Original plot, impeccable image, attractive characters, well-chosen twists, funny dialogues, it is very addictive. We’re really bored on Nerflix right now, so let’s not shy away from the fun. It is a very successful series. There is a little Jean-Pierre Jeunet side:)”

According to MTGR (0.5/5):

“This series is one of unprecedented poverty and intellectual laziness. Or rather, we are returning to Besson’s performances of the 2000s. No surprises, no problems, phone script, over-explanatory voiceover, vulgar humor, hollow characters (caricatures of mobsters), incredible situations arise. to continue With very practical ellipses to overcome all the shortcomings of the script. But we have to admit one feature of this series: it is so bad that it quickly becomes ridiculous (anything can happen, because there is no sense and no writing skills). So, in the end, it almost leads to addiction….“

why does it work

Netflix continues its frenzy of action with Furies , an eight-episode series starring the amazing Marina Foys in an often inappropriate role. On the program: chases, stunts and a conspiracy that no longer counts its twists. The perfect recipe for success made Looks like Netflix and magic are taking over.

Number 3: Signal

According to Pascal I (4/5):

“For my part, I was truly hooked. A riveting experience from start to finish. Full of emotion and very mysterious, the 4-episode mini-series takes viewers into the unknown. Very well acted, acting “The cast is impeccable. A special mention for little Yuna Bennett. successful 4/5!!!”

According to Guizmoon (4.5/5):

“A very nice little series. Sometimes it drags, but we’re all in the mood. Be warned, there’s no sci-fi concept, as some might expect. It’s a psychological series first and foremost. I recommend it to fans of suspense.”

According to Lilly (2/5):

“Meh and reh too long episodes, too little action, the cast is all over the place and not as expressive as it should be, even the cast is poorly exploited, the script bites the tail. There is a lack of breath in this absolutely disastrous series.”

why does it work

Following the success of the previous German series on Netflix (Dark and Dear Little), The Signal immerses the platform’s subscribers in an intriguing and tense investigation.

Especially influenced by the films of M. Night Shyamalan, this thriller-rich thriller can be devoured in one go… but it leaves internet users hungry for more and already clamoring for a second season!

Number 4: Avatar

The nations of water, earth, fire, and air once lived in harmony, and the Avatar, master of the four elements, guaranteed peace among them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and destroyed the Air Nomads in their first attempt at world conquest.

As the current incarnation of the Avatar slowly emerges, the world loses hope. However, hope is born again like a light in the night when Aang, a young air nomad – and the last representative of his people – emerges from the slumber to claim his rightful place as the new Avatar.

According to Chromaria (4/5):

“Excellent adaptation, very faithful to the anime. The casting is good, the sets are beautiful, the special effects are quite well done. It’s a real pleasure to watch.”

According to Corradiantony (4/5):

“I was taken back to my teenage years when it aired on TF1 in 2005 (TF! Youth at the time) watching this series respects the artwork, originality, script and well written, we never get bored for a second. The computer generated images are excellent, the actors play their roles very well, they will probably wait for the second season to get a good rating 4.”

According to Khwartz (5/5):

“Much more faithful to the original series than the movie of the same name. Not surprising, since it was partially directed by one of the creators of the animated series. Also, completely well acted with careful special effects that serve the series well : )”

why does it work

A few months after One Piece, Netflix once again offered a quality live-action adaptation of the cult animated series. Perfectly faithful to the spirit of the original cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender will not leave the Netflix Top 5 after the launch event on February 22nd!

Based on impeccable actors and convincing special effects, the series offers high-quality entertainment to the subscribers of the platform. Netflix has also announced two additional seasons!

Number 5: Supersex

The life and professional career of actor Rocco Siffredi, childhood, family and the special relationship with love that led him to embark on a career in porn cinema.

AlloCiné Viewer Rating: 2.9 out of 5

According to Clara Beebe (5 out of 5):

“The series is very easy to watch, the story of Rocco’s life is rich. Obviously there are a lot of race scenes so don’t watch with the family! I really liked his teenage episodes. It is a very good series with interesting stories and which makes this man human“

According to Paul Poem (3 of 5):

“If the biography of this gentleman was really interesting, this series would be interesting too, because the casting, direction and editing are of good quality. But this mix between a psychological film and an erotic film is ultimately quite boring. Technically nothing to say, very well made and very well played. So let’s not be too harsh, especially given the generally very average production quality…“

According to NinaMyers (2.5 out of 5):

“4 episodes would be enough to tell the life of handsome Rocco, there is always the same dialogues diluted about love, sex, women and does not fly high. But it is worth watching because of the good interpretation. Everything is very feminist, and Poverino Rocco is seen above all as a victim of her… device.“

why does it work

A slightly disappointing start to Supersex, the series that chronicles the life of porn star Rocco Sifredi. True, we imagined a greater enthusiasm for this fiction, which oscillates between melodrama and sulphurous fairy tale.
