"The Gloaming", thriller and tremors

DISNEY + / STAR.

Thanks to Star, the adult section of Disney +, we can have access to content that would have had difficulty, before that, to find its place on the platform that was initially intended for families. Latest example to date: "The Gloaming", a formidable Australian series unseen in France, which we will nevertheless be careful not to show to under 15s as it can make people tremble. The action takes place in Tasmania, as an inspector, Molly McGee, discovers a brutally murdered woman in a very strange setting. Quickly, links are established with the murder of a little girl who took place more than twenty years earlier. A disappearance that marked the past of the policewoman: one of her friends, Alex, was in the company of the girl when she was killed. Alex having become a cop in Sidney,she arranges for him to join her in order to carry out the investigation with her. In "The Gloaming", everything works: this duo of cops who do not tell everything about their past, the mysteries of the intrigue full of suspense, and especially this gradual switch to the fantastic which asks lots of questions and squarely spins the chips. . Above all, the staging is surprising. To stick to the title and the subject, the nocturnal scenes cultivate a very disturbing atmosphere, in connection with the local Tasmanian legends. To improve everything, the series benefits from a sharp interpretation, on the part of Ewan Leslie who perfectly plays a tortured Alex, and especially of Emma Booth, Australian actress already spotted in 2017 in the feature film "Love Hunters ".this duo of cops who do not tell everything about their past, the mysteries of the intrigue full of suspense, and above all this progressive shift into the fantastic which asks a lot of questions and squares the chips.

"Lupine" relapses

NETFLIX.

"Lupine" is still running. But in this second part of season 1, of which Netflix is ​​making all five episodes available this Friday, Assane Diop (Omar Sy) is scared. For the first time. No more laughing. Her son disappeared on the beach at Étretat. The stakes are getting darker. Way of talking. Let's be honest: we know the gentleman-burglar will always get away with it. The charm of "Lupine" remains this rhythm of an enchanted merry-go-round in a dream Paris. If “Lupine” is a hit the world over, it is also because we see the capital there in major mode: after the Louvre, Orsay and its magic clock, the quays of the Seine, the Pont Neuf, the Catacombs, the Theater du Châtelet filmed like never before, a chase in the Catacombs, and less popular places like the Buttes Chaumont. Follow the guide "Lupine". Often beautiful postcards.If the series tells the story of Assane Diop, and not that of Maurice Leblanc's hero, the nods to the real Lupine multiply in this second part, with a reference to the novel "813" in a bedroom. hotel to a discussion between Assane and his son on "the confrontation between Arsène Lupine and Herlock Shears".

An ex "Friends" to see again with "Intelligence"

SALTO

. With "Intelligence", David Schwimmer, ex "Friends", finds the genre that revealed it to the whole world: television comedy. In the first season, available since October on Salto, we discovered the offices of the British Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). These secret services fight against cybercrime. The unit, led by Christine, a woman with an iron fist, welcomes an American into its ranks. This one, masterfully interpreted by David Schwimmer, is a walking caricature, imbued with himself, arrogant, clearly feeling himself superior to others (while he is a real incompetent), all mixed with a few racist and misogynistic touches. At the start of this season 2,a nuclear power station has been hacked and the GCHQ team has only half an hour to prevent a reactor explosion that would cause another Chernobyl. Between situational comedy, well-felt dialogues and uninhibited performances by the actors, this introduction to the new season is a treat. We love to find David Schwimmer in a role commensurate with his comedic genius, and a reference to "Friends" in the second episode of this second season is a real treat for all fans. A treat to savor, since each season contains only six episodes of about twenty minutes.We love to find David Schwimmer in a role commensurate with his comedic genius, and a reference to "Friends" in the second episode of this second season is a real treat for all fans.

"Loki" laughs, the clown!

DISNEY +.

Present in six "Avengers" films, and brilliantly played by the British actor Tom Hiddleston, Loki is a megalomaniac character, charming, full of himself, powerful magician, never stingy with a trick or a stroke of genius, and especially very funny. He is now entitled to his own series, where we find him in a very strange universe, controlled by guardians responsible for regulating the story and its possible modifications. Loki, prisoner and deprived of his powers, will be entrusted with a delicate mission: to track down, in the arcana of time and space, a terrible killer who is nothing other than a variation of himself! The first great quality of the series is to have accentuated the comic side of the character and the situations. To better monitor it and prevent it from escaping,Loki is chaperoned by Mobius - played by Owen Wilson, a specialist in mythologies and heroic adventures of the Avengers who does not let go of a tongue-in-cheek, seemingly fatalistic, resigned and conciliatory Loki, but who constantly seems to be hatching a crooked blow. By ceaselessly sending each other out and playing an impeccable ping-pong of deadly replicas, the two actors have a great time in the register of a very humor.the two actors have a great time in the register of a verythe two actors have a great time in the register of a very

, and form a duo à la "Dumb and Dumber" - much more classy - which makes the salt of each sequence.
