Number 1: The Bridgerton Chronicles
Penelope Fetherington has finally given up on longtime love Colin Bridgerton after she found out he had been making disparaging comments about her.

According to Sylvie Bataille (5/5)
“You either like the Chronicles or you don’t, I for one love them. I can never get bored of an addictive series, a little romance and lightness doesn’t hurt these days. The only thing I could complain about is the waiting time between seasons, especially the last 2 years, it really is too long!“
Lily according to the press (Lily) (5/5)
“I really liked this series, I watched it several times and I can’t wait to see what will happen with the start of the new season!!!“
According to Aldogiroux (5/5)
“The third season is charming, brilliant, picturesque, the wealth of dialogues is dizzying…! Imbued with humor, intelligence and elegance. In its genre, Season 3 deserves to take the time to enjoy and marvel at itself“
why does it work

Viewer rating: 3.2/5
Dx according to M. (4/5)
“A great series for me… sort of a thriller behind closed doors in an 8-parter reality TV mode… a bit like Squid Game (except less commercial), the movie La Plateforme, Cercle, or even The Experience, etc. .. At first the atmosphere is fun and funny, then as the series progresses the atmosphere becomes darker and darker… The characters manipulate each other towards their end, in A Clockwork Orange mode… The plot is well done… The characters are well developed and appealing to some… At the same time At times it is funny, entertaining, caustic, cynical and violent… The series is a kind of social criticism of the class pyramid. …I got really involved for a while…“
According to Spamy S. (4.5/5)
“Another master class from Korea! A mini squid game, well thought out, with allegories about society, obvious of course, but tastefully staged.”
After Dark 2 (3.5/5)
“It’s a good series, but I definitely wouldn’t put it on the same level as Squid Game, some parts are so predictable that it becomes a bit funny and obviously the last two episodes just drag on“
why does it work
With its Squid Game decor (we saw a copy and paste of pink stairs!), The 8 Show was sure to pique curiosity. Its presence in the top 5 in the second position only a few days after its release is not surprising. The topic is also interesting: the denunciation of reality television with social criticism of the economic violence that is being carried out on people in South Korea. Will the series have the same fate? future will show.

According to Cath34 (4/5):
“It’s a very pleasant series to watch. Rhythm and good actors. A little pleasure that makes you wait for the sequel.”
According to Zidane (3/5):
“Okay, but nothing more, hard to see and understand, we still have a lot of trouble, and then anyone who likes love stories will like this.”
why does it work
Second week in the Top 5 Thank you and for the next, Turkish romantic drama that continues to attract the curious youth.

Viewer Rating: 3.2/5
According to Manuel S. (3/5)
“The conceptual series, of course, Niney is funny, but the result as a whole is uneven, lacks rhythm and chaos. Many jokes fall apart, we smile more than we laugh. We find the humor of the family series Business. Finally, the series is as fast. Watch as it is forgotten. “
According to Jean N (3.5/5)
“It’s stupid but it’s stupid!! Tertiary jokes not even worth a carambari, poorly shot, badly acted to tell you: below “La Flamme” (and it’s nothing) would make the French comic masterpiece “Bronzés” a pass 3!! !!! Good shame but how I laughed!! How long has it been since I laughed!!“
by Romaric R (1.5/5)
“I couldn’t get through the first episode…drinking and playing too much. Everything is too much, too soon, with no hook or depth…“
why does it work
Fiasco manages to stay in the top five for another week. Pierre Niney’s “brand” still hits the mark with its schoolboy humor and prestigious casting. Mixed success overall for the series, which failed to integrate the charts of other non-French-speaking countries.
