The Gray Man

Brothers Anthony and Joseph Russo make a film here that lives up to the expectations they set. The feature film is two hours long, but there are enough explosions, chases, shootouts, suspense and humor to keep us interested until the end. No romance (aside from a light flirtation) and that’s fine. This is an action movie and the action comes first until the final, thrilling fight scene.

The Man From Toronto

We can imagine how the plot will develop. However, there are a few surprises along the way. The action is not lacking and the adventures are incredible. Here is a comedy that feels good, without much pretension (but a good budget – nearly 100 million) and quite pleasant.

Stranger Things





Expected for three years – it’s a looong long time – this fourth season of Stranger Thingsmore violent and more gore than the previous ones, comes in format jumbo : all episodes last between 1h and 1h40. Stranger Things has aged, like its performers, and its references are no longer aimed at pre-teens.

Keep Sweet – Pray and Obey





A true crime documentary series about a cult where a despotic leader, who calls himself the Prophet, marries 78 wives, 24 of them underage, and predicts the end of the world in the middle of the Utah desert?

This Is Pop

While the production company is used to focusing on one genre or artist at a time, This Is Pop casts a wide net: it’s about ABBA, Boys II Men, country music, the hitmakers of the Brill Building (including Neil Sedaka, who describes himself as the “Justin Bieber of the 1950s”) and the emergence of musical festivals. The direction isn’t always happy (the country music episode is unnecessarily kitsch), but the look is always smart.

Wentworth

Why praise such a violent and ruthless TV series? Because it fulfills its entertainment mandate. Because the actresses there are overwhelming. Because a federal prison like the one depicted in Wentworth is not a Club Med where you braid your hair between two Macarena choreographies.

Borgen: Power and Glory





We no longer hoped for it, the sequel to the brilliant Danish miniseries Borgen. Here it is today on Netflix, nine years after the last season, with its refinement, its abundant complexity and its themes even more topical than ever. This fourth opus really does not disappoint. Borgen: Power and Glory is aimed at curious and enlightened adults, who have fallen for series like The West Wing and House of Cardswith an extra-sophisticated Scandinavian touch.

Also born from the desire of the duo Omar Sy and Laurent Lafitte to work together again, 10 years after the success of the other side of the ring-road, this film holds especially thanks to their beautiful complicity. And the game of the two superstars manages to make us forget its clichés and its weaknesses.

The Charming British Miniseries Heartstopping Netflix, offered in English and French, shows a more tender and realistic facet of adolescence, that of emotions, questions, butterflies in the stomach and self-discovery. It’s written with finesse and carried by talented young actors who, unlike Euphoria Where Watatatoware not 15 years older than their characters.
