Without exagerating, Severance is one of the most original and surprising series of 2022. Yes, it starts slowly, it is the biggest flaw of the first two hours, do not despair. But when the anxiety-inducing plot takes off, it’s almost impossible to get out of it.

Joel Coen offers a very successful adaptation, close to the masterpiece, which moves away from realism to plunge us into a waking nightmare. The film, entirely in black and white, is carried by superb images and a magnificent dreamlike, claustrophobic setting. Denzel Washington radiates in the title role, and Frances McDormand in Lady Macbeth, a role tailor-made for this great actress twice Oscar winner. The film is cited in three categories at the Oscars.

Divided into six one-hour episodes, this BBC One thriller tells the story of an amnesiac man (Jamie Dornan) who tries to discover his true identity in the middle of the Australian desert. less striking than Memento (Christopher Nolan, 2000), this co-production between Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia manages to entertain us. And The Tourist takes itself just seriously enough, never too seriously.

Turning Red, which features three songs by Billie Eilish and FINNEAS, one of which is particularly catchy, is fundamentally positive and joyful. The film will resonate with both teenagers and adults, who will have fun recognizing themselves. Some scenes, which reflect Mei’s fear and apprehensions, would be intense for toddlers. However, some will regret a little not having been so guided, when they themselves passed through this critical age.

The miniseries The Dropout tells a story similar to that of Anna Sorokin (Inventing Anna, on Netflix) of a young fraudster who sees big and who falls from very high. This is Elizabeth Holmes, brilliantly played by Amanda Seyfried, the fallen boss of the Theranos company, who promised sea and world to the medical industry before being swallowed up by the wave of her lies.

Produced by Craig Gillespie (Me Tonya), Pam & Tommy could easily have generated laughs by depicting them, her, as a nunuche, and him, as a bozo. Without trying to present them as candidates for a Nobel, the series nevertheless manages to give them back this humanity that the tabloid press has long denied them. Skillfully playing the line between caricature, drama and social criticism, Pam & Tommy goes back to the root of our unhealthy obsession for these stars that we like to see fall from their pedestal.

The real life. This is what we can remember after listening to Life & Beth, featuring comedian Amy Schumer, who also plays the role of screenwriter and creator of the series. The story? While on paper her life seems perfect, an incident will force Beth to relive her past, where she will be seen reconnecting with high school friends and meeting John (played by Michael Cera). Some will say that this is yet another series on a character in search of his identity, but in fact, we discover another facet of Amy Schumer which lets us say that the actress has more than one trick in her bag.
