The Player (2021)

Une série pleine de rebondissements et de noirceur comme on aime !

The Player m’a vraiment captivée du début à la fin. L’intrigue est intense, pleine de suspense et de retournements de situation inattendus. L’ambiance est volontairement malsaine, ce qui rend la série encore plus prenante et réaliste.

Elle met en lumière les failles d’une société où argent, célébrité et pouvoir permettent à certains d’échapper aux conséquences de leurs actes. C’est dur, mais c’est la vérité de notre monde… et The Player le montre sans détour.

Mention spéciale à Namtan, exceptionnelle dans le rôle de Giwi. Son interprétation est aussi charismatique que troublante. Elle porte vraiment la série avec intensité et justesse.

Je recommande vivement cette série à celles et ceux qui aiment les thrillers psychologiques sombres, les jeux de manipulation et les critiques sociales bien construites !

Well, that was a fun ride!

First off - I really wasn't that interested in "The Player", to be honest. But I like the actors so I thought, "Why not give it a shot?" And I have no regrets. First and foremost, I really liked the script. It is a puzzle that you have to piece together. Scene after scene, episode after episode, the writers and the director would leave out just one small detail...that they would eventually get back to somewhere down the road and, by episode four, you'd be wondering who was lying and who was telling the truth. I'll give you a hint - there is a lot of lying going on. Characters that you would think are just passing through wind up being so vital to the plot. Things that were brought up in early episodes that you didn't even remember suddenly became so important in the end.

Okay. The Acting. First off - there is a clear villain from the get-go. Then another villain shows up. Then another. It got to a point where everything was so shady that I didn't know who to trust. And the actors just throw themselves into their roles. and play it all with so much conviction that you almost start to believe whoever is on and start watching the others suspiciously. By the end of the first episode you swear allegiance to one character but, I guarantee, you will switch allegiances before the end of the next episode. I remember at one point saying, "Is everybody lying?!?" The director does a really good with this great script and the actors are right there with them.

Look - if you're expecting something deep and profound and life changing...this is probably not the ride you want to take. If, however, you're up for a fun ride, just hop on board! A good time was had by all!
