To almost quote Albert London, “Our job is not to please, either to harm, it is to carry the pen in the wound and to explore the more discreet productions of the Netflix catalog”. In order to follow the probable advice of the illustrious reporter, we moved away during the big machines or favorite works of the moment on the streaming platform to go to the side of the side of less noisy international seriesbut potentially just as friendly. Armed with our (TED) Lasso, we left to explore the latest news to come across We bet?
What is the subject of on bet?
Real name There is another possibility (you will understand that we prefer the French name), We bet? is a Turkish comic series Around Isa, a sports betting editor who has made a certain reputation at one time by always making the right predictions. For this, he could count on a secret inherited from his father, a gift of clairvoyance. Unfortunately, this gift seems to have abandoned him for a while and he covered himself with debts with uncompromising people.
The only person still capable of solving their problems may well be refik, a businessman who owns a flourishing business. With a detail, Réfik is dead. If Isa wants to get out of the hassle, he will have to help Refik a find the identity of the one who murdered it. The amateur investigator and the ghost are not at the end of their surprises.
Sos fantôme
Netflix has as many American blockbusters at 320 million as less ambitious international works in its catalog. And it is often the latter that are the most qualitative or popular. While The Electric State promises to be a flop for the platform given the cost committed, series like Just a lookof Polish origin, is proudly displayed in the top 10 of the SVOD service. Well, there is also Colombian production Medusaso tastes and colors have no border. In this same order of idea, We bet? does not have to be ashamed of his comrades by assuming his lightness.
We are actually very far from the series of the year and it is a safe bet that we will have forgotten it in the coming days. She has this little side « production TF1 », responsible for occupying a time box. Nevertheless, for once, it is not said in a pejorative way since it is her lack of pretension that makes her harmless while respecting her promises. The police investigation is there, the supernatural aspect Also, just like love, friendship, family bond … lots of good feelings where the most ridiculous is still the bad service.
Economy of characters, places … Simplicity is the watchword. The scenario is classic and we feel a strong inspiration “Plus belle la vie” by sequences. Everything we usually hate. Except that we have been surprised to chain the eight episodes with a certain ease, the latter being of a reasonable duration compared to its subject. The plot holds its rhythm, Handling her revelations and lets her love story settle gently. No escalation and a certain carefree, the series is a catalog environment that has a good heart.
Especially since we find the casting particularly endearing, everyone putting the right spirit despite a game of actors failing at times. The important thing is that everyone tries to do their best, like the characters they finally embody. Ata Demirer embodies a Loser clumsy which is not a main protagonistbut of which a positive energy is constantly emanating and whose touching look we appreciate. Ugur Yücel is a reassuring Kenobi Obi-Wan. Esra Bilgiç is a strong woman who, like us, necessarily lets herself be touched. And the list continues until the smallest supporting role that will make boxes, but with a joviality which borders on respect.
We bet? is one of those series which have nothing to stand out from the mass, but who know how to capture attention once you put your eyes on it thanks to a Stunning alchemy entertaining Between his ostensible awkwardness and his equally manifest desire to please. A catalog product, of course, of those that the streaming platform could assume in its category “To put in the background while the subscriber does something else” (category now sought in its production schedule), but which has no malice and which just wants cause the same pleasure in front of the screen than that of the team on the set. The kind of series on which we could hit and in the end, we simply finish the last episode by saying that there is worse in life, there are those who put Bearnaise sauce to accompany their raclette.
