According to Clara.789 (2/5)

“I watched the series in one afternoon, because I was looking forward to watching it. There are only good actors, of course, the acting is simply incredible. Only I am a little disappointed, the fact that everything was shot in documentary mode. I really did not expect that, I understood that the jokes It wasn’t crazy.

I really expected to laugh more considering the characters and actors who usually make me laugh a lot. However, we can see that there is a lot of work to be done on this series. Nothing wrong, just my opinion. Pierre, if you see I love you no offense, I just wanted to laugh a little more.”

According to Sarajogla (1.5/5):

“Foreordained title: bland, no rhythm. A few barely funny jokes. As in the Making of, the film’s navel-gazing is boring. Everything is expected, agreed upon. Raphael’s character comes last. Two completely annoying episodes are the only ones that work well, There is an intern Gabriel.

According to Florian N. (3/5):

“Like many news stories in this vein, this sinister story has the merit of keeping viewers on their toes (at least long enough to see the end of the series).

On the other hand, repeatedly observing the level of acting in Spanish TV series that reminds me of Asian movies and TV series. Some unnecessary or implausible dialogues, hyper exaggerated gestures. It may seem trivial, but it ruined the experience for me personally.”

“A very good American series about the world of business and the shenanigans associated with it. The main actor is very charismatic and plays his character brilliantly. A rhythmic production with sharp dialogues and colorful characters, which does not remind you of the excellent Succession. The series, a great new release on Netflix, which I recommend !”

“It’s a great series, we laugh a lot, even if there aren’t a few moments for him who ends up in prison, Lucy Liu has a small role in the series, the lead actor and the banker are great, and the ending is great. We have a good time, a good time.”

According to Marjoline A (4/5) :

“A very good series led by US TV veterans (David E. Kelly on Creative, Jeff Daniels, John Michael Hill and Lucy Liu) and newcomers (William Jackson Harper seen in ‘The Good Place’). The series is interesting even if it is. It’s a long shot. From the Tom Wolfe book it’s inspired by, it’s rhythmic, fun, suspenseful, and the production and imagery are of good quality. A legacy of “the quality of the writing, the world of business, and the quality of the overall interpretation.”

why does it work

With its attractive casting (Jeff Daniels in the title role) and a script that needs no introduction (David E. Kelly), A Real Man had all the ingredients to please the French public and find itself in this top 5. one of the main ones. The attraction of the series is that it consists of 6 short episodes, which allows for a compact plot and an effective script.

Number 4: My Little Reindeer

The actors are excellent and it’s even more attractive because it’s a true story played by a writer and actor, To whom this happened, some are shocking, we cannot remain indifferent in 1 day.

According to lia (4.5 out of 5): “An excellent original British series with dark humor, occasional thrillers and emotion, which is a nourishing analysis of human relationships. The acting is very good, it is well written and the short format is excellent. A production that deserved more promotion.”

According to Vanessa Seidel (2.5 out of 5): “Let’s be clear, the beginning of the series was quite charming and the characters interesting. I was quite excited, then come these last two episodes that ruin everything. The height of grotesque existence. A surreal scene where our main The hero pours out his heart in front of the astonished audience, from there I realized that the series has lost all its credibility.

why does it work

We had a feeling the series was going to be a shocker, and we weren’t wrong. My Little Deer, written, directed and starring Richard Gaddy, is about a man’s life turned into hell. If the story mixes laughter with tears, it especially highlights topics that are still taboo, namely sexual violence against men. My Little Reindeer continues to dominate the Netflix ratings as it should. It makes sense for this year to be one of the best series of 2024.
