“Monsters”, “Nobody Wants This”, “Those who blush”… What are the series of the week worth?

Ordinary barbarity in the eye of Ryan Murphy, a not-so-transgressive romance with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, a group of high school students pushed around by a replacement theater teacher… We tell you everything about the new things to see on the platforms.

“Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menéndez”, miniseries (Netflix)

After “Dahmer”, Ryan Murphy tackles the parricide of a couple of Californian millionaires in 1989. This thriller with an icy aesthetic highlights the mechanisms of ordinary barbarism in a dysfunctional family.

“Those who blush”, miniseries (Arte.tv)

In a high school, the arrival of a replacement teacher causes an earthquake among the theater option students, who are forced to give in. A powerful series by and with Julien-Gaspar Oliveri, to be seen from 12 years old.

“End of Summer”, saison 1 (MyCanal)

A psychologist, Vera was traumatized as a child by the disappearance of her little brother Billy, then by the suicide of her mother. One day, a stranger appears, who reminds him of Billy… A Swedish series with a heavy atmosphere, but which lacks rhythm.

“Paris Has Fallen”, miniseries (MyCanal)

This French iteration of the very naughty saga “Has Fallen” by Gerard Butler is never short of horribly cruel images. Which, without being entirely credible, remains more entertaining than the banal plot serving as an intrigue.

“Nobody Wants This”, saison 1 (Netflix)

A hunky rabbi (Adam Brody) and an agnostic podcaster (Kristen Bell) fall in love. Alas, tempting on paper, this promise turns out to be very disappointing over the course of ten episodes.

“Midnight Family”, saison 1 (Apple TV+)

In 2019, the Mexican documentary midnight family (“Midnight Family”) captured the tumultuous daily life of a family of private ambulance drivers in Mexico City. Produced by Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Spencer), this serial variation starts from the same observation of a medical system running out of steam, and adds a good dose of soap. She alternates the nighttime outings of the Tamayo, led by their father Ramón (the excellent Joaquín Cosío) and the studious and loving days of Marigaby, his daughter, a medical student. The result, entertaining, is closer to Grey’s Anatomy thanAt an open tomb by Scorsese. — P.L.

q Season 1, created by Natalia Beristáin (10x45mn).

“Poor Miskina”, season 2 (Prime Video)

The first season of this comedy by and with Melha Bedia, often funny and touching, had fun with the chaotic life of a young woman who is lost in her heart and who questions her faith. This somewhat short return (only six short episodes) struggles to regain the energy of the beginnings. There is no shortage of good ideas – like the poisonous legacy of the deceased grandmother, both family cement and source of conflict – but are cramped in an uneven choral narrative, which seeks in vain to serve all its interests. characters. There remains a troupe of endearing actors. — P.L.

q Season 2, created by Melha Bedia, Xavier Lacaille and Yoann Gromb (6x25mn).
