Si vous vous sentez pantouflard et en panne d’inspiration côté télé, voici quelques idées tirées du catalogue Netflix pour vous inspirer.
The Crown (partie 2)
On termine The Crown en se disant que sans être complaisant, le regard que pose Peter Morgan sur la reine et la monarchie est plutôt sympathique. Il salue l’engagement d’Élisabeth, insiste sur son dévouement et sa droiture, sans masquer sa rigidité et son manque d’empathie, notamment à l’égard des compagnes de Charles. Surtout, avec ces six derniers épisodes, il boucle admirablement bien la boucle d’une série qui aura marqué son époque.

Rachid Badouri : Les fleurs du tapis
In The flowers of the carpet, Badouri discusses in particular the intoxication of success, Islamophobia, homophobia and a very uncomfortable encounter. A recording produced by Usef Naït, known for his work with Souldia and Koriass.
Marc-André Lemieux
An almost normal family
Adaptation of the novel A Nearly Normal Family by author Mattias Edvardsson, it tells the story of a seemingly perfect – but absolutely dysfunctional – family that is slowly but surely sinking since a traumatic event (which they tried to sweep under the carpet) is occurred four years earlier. When a new tragedy occurs, its artificial balance suddenly collapses.
Marc-André Lemieux
Maestro
Actor and filmmaker Bradley Cooper confirms with his second feature film, Maestro, if it was not already done, that he is not just another actor with vague directorial aspirations, but a filmmaker of great talent. The film garnered seven Oscar nominations.

May December
Criticism of the media and moral authority, May December enjoys confusing the cards without judging his characters. Gracie, Elizabeth and Joe are all trapped in their illusions. In the tradition of Bergman and Losey, Todd Haynes delivers a dark and hushed film, psychologically disturbing, and carried by a duo of extraordinary actresses.
Luc Boulanger
Rustin
If Rustin deals with an important element of black history that has been buried for too long, the film also offers its lead actor the opportunity to deliver an extraordinary performance! Colman Domingo (Ma Rainey’s, Zola, Euphoria) embodies a complex man. Both strong and vulnerable, brilliant and tormented, supportive and lonely. Colman Domingo also received an Oscar nomination in the category of best actor in a leading role.
Luc Boulanger
Leave the World Behind
Adapted from the novel of the same name, Leave the World Behind (The world after us) depicts an end of the world that perhaps awaits us where nothing has meaning and everything leads to our downfall. Produced by Barack and Michelle Obama, directed by Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot, Homecoming), this psychological thriller keeps the viewer intrigued from start to finish. If we ultimately obtain some of the answers to the questions that the film sows, it is above all the reflection provoked that remains with us.
Marissa Groguhé
The Killer
Director David Fincher creates a very particular cozy atmosphere, to which the music of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is no stranger. Andrew Kevin Walker’s screenplay distils irresistible humor, courtesy of the pseudophilosophical mantras and pearls of wisdom of motivational gurus that the killer repeats to himself constantly, during often hilarious interior monologues.
Marc Cassivi
El Conde
Larraín’s staging, meticulous and careful, dictates the rhythm of a story that is less contemplative than the Chilean filmmaker’s previous, more traditional filmed biographies, about Jackie Kennedy or Lady Diana Spencer, in particular. The symphonic and lyrical soundtrack lends itself wonderfully to this particularly cynical dystopia, coupled with a family fable about corruption, avarice and greed.
Marc Cassivi
Beckham
For the honesty of the words, for the quality of the research and for the images where the former professional athlete talks about his new hobby as a beekeeper, Beckham achieved its goal. This miniseries, generous with archives and interviews, will satisfy sports enthusiasts and gossip fans alike.
Hugo Dumas
Till Murder Do Us Part
This four-episode miniseries is chock-full of archival footage from the trial and, be warned, includes a frightening amount of blood-soaked photos from the crime scene. You watch it all at once and the last episode, it’s a classic, does not provide all the answers to this murky affair, which interested, at the time, as much Larry King as Geraldo Rivera.
