Geek Girl (May 30)
What is this series about?
As an awkward teenager, Harriet always wanted to fit in. But a London modeling agency notices her and understands that sometimes we need to stand out from the crowd.
Why does this fascinate us?
Going from “geek to chick”. That’s the opening promise of this new British production, adapted from Holly Smiley’s novel Geek Girl. This series about small teenage concerns (self-confidence, seeing others, first love, etc.) promises to be light, breezy and easy to watch. May’s guilty pleasure, in short…
Part of you (May 31)
what is this movie about
A teenager struggles to pick up the pieces of his shattered world in this moving, bittersweet coming-of-age and abandonment drama.
Why does this fascinate us?
For casting it, mostly. Young Royals fans will be able to find actor Edwin Riding, who bid farewell to Wilhelm last season in March, on their screens. But above all, the presence of singer Zara Larsson intrigues us. The Swede, namely the singer of “Lush Life”, got his first TV role here with Part of You.
Under the Hay (June 5)
what is this movie about
In the summer of 2024, Paris will host the Triathlon World Championships on the Seine for the first time. Sophia, a brilliant scientist, is alerted by Mika, a young environmentalist committed to the existence of a great shark deep in the river. They have no choice but to team up with Adil, the river police chief, to prevent bloodshed in the heart of the city.
Why does this fascinate us?
Because we love shark movies and this ironically resonates with current events. Netflix made the right choice by releasing Sous la Seine, a French production directed by Xavier Gens, shortly before the Games in the capital. Knowing that certain competitions will be held on the river, we can only smile when we read this pitch.
Sweet Tooth (June 6)
What is this series about?
Years after the mutations caused by The Great Collapse, a half-boy, half-deer hybrid befriends a lonely misfit against all odds. Together, they embark on an extraordinary adventure on a devastated and dangerous planet, wondering if the concept of home makes sense.
Why does this fascinate us?
This is the 3rd and final season of Sweet Tooth, which Netflix is putting online on June 6th. A change of scenery and tone for these final episodes, which promise to be particularly exciting. The hero, played by Christian Conover, really embarked on an unprecedented journey to find his mother, who is trying to discover the mysterious origin of a deadly disease.
As time runs out for answers, alliances are tested and fates collide, leading to a thrilling climax that will determine the fate of humanity and the hybrids.
Hierarchy (June 7)
What is this series about?
Jooshin High School, created by the conglomerate Jooshin Group, is the most prestigious school in South Korea. Usually, only students selected at birth can attend this high school. These students are the first daughter of the family that runs Jaeyool Group, Jung Jae Yi. Jooshin Group heiress Kim Ri or international trading company’s youngest daughter Yoon Hae Ra. and Lee Woo Joon, the second son of a powerful family of politicians. While Kang Ha transfers to Joshin High School. Behind her innocent smile lies a secret. Joshin’s high school world then begins to crack.
Why does this fascinate us?
Hierarchy, a new Korean series, is clearly reminiscent of Elite, another production of the platform, which is already in its 8th season. It must be said that this is a format that works very well and is easily exported: take a rich high school with nasty characters (or those who hide secrets), romantic intrigues, a dead student among students, and shrouded in mystery. Before you are the ingredients of a successful series.
