Top 5 Netflix: this case excites and fascinates subscribers!

Issue 1: Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Eric Menendez

The disturbing story of two brothers, Lyle and Eric Menendez, who were convicted in 1996 of murdering their parents.

Viewer rating: 3.6/5

According to Spiculus75004 (5 of 5):

“We are forgetting the first season, this second we are changing the register to the famous case of the early 80s. Ryan Murphy is a genius. The photography, the actors, the psychology, the emotions that he manages to convey. Monsters 2 is incredible. .

According to Tarzanujan (4 of 5):

“A wonderful series that follows the family journey of the Melendez brothers, who are now serving life sentences for the murder of their parents. We gradually discover the motives of each character through a great story…and also that there are no monsters. Always what we think.”

by Ice & Fire (1.5 out of 5)

“It’s too long because of what he says and below Dahmer in S1. In Dahmer we got to spend about 30 minutes on the trial, and in this S2 we spend more than half the season there. The extra accusations against the parents and especially the father are painful. “

why does it work

After the huge success of Dahmer in 2022, we expected Netflix and Ryan Murphy to turn the corner with the second volume of his anthology “Monstre(s)”. He and his loyal sidekick Ian Brennan decided to dedicate this new season to two brothers who are not serial killers, and whose abuse their father justified the crime. A completely different register, a different atmosphere (more pop and bright than Dahmer) and the treatment of the theme, which caused a great reaction from subscribers and one of the main stakeholders”.

Number 2: The Perfect Couple

A lavish wedding ends in disaster before it begins when a body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor hours before the ceremony. All guests suddenly become suspicious.

Viewer rating: 3.1/5

According to Francois G (4.5/5):

“The atmosphere of this series is reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s novels without Hercule Poirot. Indeed, the investigators here are ordinary policemen who do their job effectively without compromising on the difference of social classes.

The actors are all great. Nicole Kidman is perfect. Except for Isabel Ajani, who does not appear as a foil in this performance. A rather austere social portrait of these rich heiresses without any merit, shot without complacency.”

According to Charlotte28 (3/5):

“Using the clichés inherent in the rich man’s world, the series doesn’t take itself too seriously, considering its guilty pleasure aspect that can be seen quickly. The actors seem to be having fun (even if Isabelle Ajan and Nicole Kidman struggle to express anything. Except their youth!) This whodunit multiplies the false leads and dissimulations to a rather successful finale.Beautiful settings, catchy music and sharp dialogue: enjoyable entertainment!

According to Jess Morrigan (2.5/5):

“A good actor, but otherwise the series can be watched without any special interest. The suspense is not incredible and the ending is very easy to guess.”

why does it work

White Lotus or Fertile David E. Fans of Kelly’s series (Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, Love and Death, Presumed Innocent) have found what they are looking for in the mini-series A Perfect Couple, which is part of the genre of police and cynical melodramas with a polished aesthetic that defies the opulent strata of the wealthy population. Add to that a crazy cast and catchy credits, and you have ultra-effective entertainment!

Number 3: Emily in Paris

After the dramatic events of Camille and Gabriel’s unhappy marriage, Emily loses control. He has strong feelings for the two men, but Gabrielle is expecting a baby with her ex, and Alf’s worst fears about her and her boss are confirmed.

At work, Sylvie must face a difficult dilemma about her past in order to save her marriage while the Grateau agency team faces personnel changes. Mindy and the band prepare for Eurovision, but when the funds run out, they are forced to cut corners.

Emily and Gabriel’s chemistry is undeniable as they work together to earn a Michelin star, but two major secrets threaten to undo everything they’ve ever dreamed of.

Viewer rating: 2.6/5

According to Anne C. (4.5/5):

“I’ve read all the negative reviews, but they are wrong and forgotten as soon as I read them, because what I expect from this type of series is to distract me and fill me with good humor. He’s perfect for that.”

According to Pauline Chambon (2.5/5):

“Before season 3, I found the series entertaining, even if there are obviously a lot of clichés and even if the plot is without big surprises. But, frankly, with the fourth season, I’m struggling. The love triangles and the disagreements between their characters are becoming more boring. , I can’t find the humor of the previous seasons”.

Still as sour as my google reviews (1/5):

“I’m not going to stop at this series, which is really enjoyable only because of the most materialistic and retrograde fantasy, but which is relevant to our society today. I really regret shows like Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City or Malcolm, which every month in the series offered unique works with a budget well below the budget of Emily herself.”

why does it work

After an underwhelming first episode where the writers gave minimal service, they did a little better in the second half of season 4: new characters to revamp the love machine (Genevieve, Marcello), new romantic setting (Rome), new dynamic. Our hero emerging from a love triangle with Gabrielle and Camille… In short, these five new episodes reminded us why we loved Emily in Paris!

Number 4: Escape from prison

Michael Scofield is involved in a real battle against time: his brother Lincoln is awaiting execution and is awaiting execution. Convinced of his innocence but short on solutions, Michael decides to incarcerate them at the Fox River State Penitentiary in order to arrange their escape…

Viewer rating: 3.8/5

According to Caro (5/5):

“So I have to say that 5 stars are for the first two seasons! I have never been so addicted to a TV series! It’s a shame that the producers wanted to use Ven as much as possible. I still watched the last 3 seasons, but I was disappointed. “

According to stallonefan62 (4/5):

“The fifth and final season of Michael and his entire gang of misadventures!! The resurrection that is so far away, we really don’t know how he survived the electrocution!! Quite a short season, still an enjoyable story, despite the many inconsistencies and major plot twists, but the characters always remain attractive !!”

According to F. Mulder (2/5):

“For me, season 5 feels more like a bad remake of 24 Hours with the characters out of prison… a season that doesn’t really matter, except for the fun of seeing the characters of the series. And then. , episode 9, for me, is a season for the sake of the season, completely flawed !”

why does it work

Popular almost 20 years after the first show, Prison Break continues to captivate fans around the world. Its stunning suspense, its incessant twists and the charisma of its two lead actors explain this timeless success.

In its first week on Netflix, the series became the most watched series in the world with 1.6 billion minutes watched in just a few days! It can be said that subscribers have been eagerly waiting for the return of this iconic series.

Number 5: Chaos

As discord rages on Mount Olympus and the almighty Zeus descends into paranoia, three mortals are destined to redefine the future of mankind.

Viewer rating: 3.6/5

According to Marion Bogaert (5/5):

“The series immerses us in the world of Greek mythology with the myth of Orpheus, who descends into the underworld to return his lover. As a former Hellenist and quite a fan of “historical” reality in general, I am pleasantly surprised by the rendering.

Indeed, they managed to combine modernity and some consistency with the original story. We find almost the entire Greek pantheon, as well as other myths, all in good humor, I recommend it. “

According to Daniel Michel (5/5):

“Really fun to watch. For those who want to watch an entertaining and completely hilarious series, enjoy.”

According to Mohs root (3.5/5):

“If you like completely crazy fantasy series, you will love this, funny, completely entertaining, can’t wait to see what happens next.”

why does it work

Jeff Goldblum, Jeff Goldblum and Jeff Goldblum. The star actor, adored by Netflix subscribers, lends his features to a never-before-seen Zeus in this satirical comedy that pokes fun at the world of Greek mythology. Kaos is the work of Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World), the lines come out at full speed and most of the time they hit the mark!
