“Rogue Heroes”, season 2 (MyCanal)
With the landings in Sicily about to begin and World War II still raging, Steven Knight’s “Rogue Heroes” are back for a second season. Always tortured, always hotheaded. For our greatest pleasure.

The “Rogue Heroes” set off on crazy missions in a season 2 far from wise
“Vigil”, season 1 and 2 (Arte.tv)
After the closed doors of a British nuclear submarine, Scottish detective Amy Silva (Suranne Jones) strives in this second season to elucidate the circumstances of a deadly drone attack. This always gripping British thriller revives the codes of the detective series.

“Vigil”, season 1: an ultra-tense thriller of the depths
“I Miss You”, miniseries (Netflix)
And eight! And each time the same process: an improbable investigation, incredible twists and turns… and an often impersonal realization. After signing a contract with Netflix, thriller author Harlan Coben continues to adapt his novels into series. A repetitive exercise in which we are beginning to know all the tricks… The only interest in this series: the subtle Rosalind Eleazar.

“High Maintenance”, season 1 to 4 (Max)
Adapted from a web series, this anthology which does not say its name follows a marijuana delivery man by bicycle in Brooklyn to paint brief portraits of his customers. This tasty series, although a little caricatured, seduces with its dazzling moments.

“The Allegation”, season 1 (UniversCiné)
Ferdinand von Schirach transposes the “Worms trial” into our times: the German scandal of a child pornography network from the 90s. Until now unpublished in France, this series, winner of the Best Screenplay Award at Canneseries 2021, does not disrupt the codes of the genre but seduced by its strangeness.
