In recent weeks, the Netflix catalog has been particularly eventful, with several hits which have quickly established themselves in the top of the most viewed programs. On the film side, the month of March was marked by the domination of War Machineregularly at the top of the rankings in France, closely followed by Street Flow 3, which confirms the enthusiasm for the franchise. Other titles like Conclave or even We should have gone to Greece have also established themselves permanently in the top 10.
On the series side, certain sure values continued to attract subscribers, like The Bridgerton Chronicles or The Night Agentstill very present in the rankings. But the new products were not left out, notably with Virgin Riverwhose new season quickly found its audience as soon as it was put online in March. And a nice surprise for Franck Dubosc! Barely arrived on Netflix, the film A bear in the Jura is already establishing itself as the most watched program of the moment on the platform. A rapid performance which confirms the public’s interest in this feature film, already noticed during its theatrical release.
Franck Dubosc signs a profitable shift
Directed by Franck Dubosc himself, the film moves away from his usual comedies. Here, the tone is darker, almost grating. The story follows a couple in financial difficulties who, after a car accident, come across an unexpected sum of money. Alas, what looks like a chance will quickly turn into a spiral, between lies and increasingly risky decisions. This mix of black comedy and thriller is not trivial. With A bear in the JuraFranck Dubosc changes register and surprises where we don’t necessarily expect him. A turn which seems to have intrigued Netflix subscribers, curious to discover this more unexpected side of the actor. In an ever-expanding catalog, few French films manage to rise to the top so quickly. This express start confirms one thing: despite the years, Franck Dubosc remains a sure bet capable of creating an event, even on a platform as competitive as Netflix.
