The Cagea new series by Franck Gastambide, is a hit on Netflix. But if you like the world of combat sports and MMA, you will certainly prefer another series, American, available for free streaming.
Franck Gastambide's new series, which appeared on Netflix on November 8, is a hit. Second in the world top 10, The Cage occupies first place in the ranking of the most viewed series of the moment in France, ahead of Arcanethe second season of which was also released recently. We follow the story of Taylor, a young MMA fighter who wants to go from amateur to professional. To do this, he tries to attract the attention of Boss, the one who runs the gym where he trains. Thanks to fights against other big names in MMA, Taylor will gradually get closer to his dream, even if it means making concessions. But if the series is a hit, that doesn't mean that everyone loves it. On the social network “very disappointed” of The Cage : “A mix between Rocky 1 et Karate Kid. MMA fans, watch the series Kingdom with Frank Grillo, much more realistic and exciting on MMA…”
If you liked La Cage, don't miss Kingdom, to watch for free on M6+?
This French subscriber is not the only one who loved it Kingdom. The series, available on M6+ in France, is recommended by 97% of Internet users on the Rotten Tomatoes site. In three seasons and 40 episodes, it allows you to dive into the world of MMA in Los Angeles. Alvey Kulina runs a workout room there with his girlfriend, Lisa. Along with his sons, Nate and Jay, they help fighters become stronger and win fights. But the two sons also have to deal with their personal problems, notably an addiction to drugs and alcohol for Jay. As one of the greatest fighters trained by Alvey, Ryan, is released from prison, the executive wants to work with him again. But Ryan and Lisa were engaged before he went to prison, and that could be a problem.
High-flying castings in The Cage as in Kingdom
If Franck Gastambide counts on Melvin Boomer (Mid-Man, 66-5) to play Taylor in The Cage – and called on big names in the discipline (Ciryl Gane, Georges Saint-Pierre, Jon Jones) to make appearances – the creator of KingdomByron Balasco, does not have to blush about his casting. In the series that ended in 2017, Frank Grillo (aka Crossbones at Marvel) embodies Alvey. Jonathan Tucker (Virgin Suicides) and Nick Jonas play brothers Jay and Nate.
