If you are told Amazon Prime Video, you will gladly quote the series The Boys, Carnival Raw, The Lord of the Rings, Boschor Peacemaker et Invincible. But the service also offers excellent French series that often go unnoticed. We therefore decided to select 3 which are clearly worth the detour on the streaming platform.
black hearts
Released in 2023, the series black hearts makes us follow the French special forces in Iraq on the eve of the battle of Mosul in October 2016. This commando has the mission “to find and exfiltrate the daughter and grandson of an important French Emir of Daesh whom they have captured and who will only cooperate with them on this condition”.
Watching this fiction is a real shock as the series is breathtaking. The action scenes are perfectly paced and keep the spectator in suspense, who can’t put it down once the series has started. Very quickly, black hearts has made a name for itself on Amazon Prime Video by having the luxury of overtaking the flagship series The Last of Us.
Miskina, the poor
We completely change register with the series Miskina, the poor. This fiction is based on the talent of Melha Bedia who embodies Fara, a struggling thirty-something. Without an apartment, without a job, and without a guy, she suffers from very strong myopia. She arbitrates between her loves and a very intrusive family, and tries all the same to get up.
If the public and the artist are all hoping for a season 2, we still haven’t had confirmation from Amazon. Never mind, the eight episodes of this first season are just waiting for you.
Mixed
Released in 2021, Marie Roussin’s series takes place in 1963 when French high schools became mixed for the first time. The debate is raging in France between the supporters of this measure and the opponents. For its part, this original creation follows the journey of these young people caught up in their teenage lives and who must manage the prejudices of their time.
A few years from May 68, moral order reigns in France, while young girls try to emancipate themselves. We can also note that adults clearly do not simplify their task!
Obviously, our selection is far from exhaustive, and many other high-quality productions have remained relatively confidential on Amazon Prime Video. Feel free to comment to suggest a series idea to the community.
