Avis à la une
I found "Dealer" pretty interesting as cinematographic experiment. Story is rather simple - a duo of cameramen join a gangster to shoot few days of his life in the hood for a rap video. Of course, they get more than they bargained for and things will go wrong.
The episodes are surprisingly short, might be a social experiment also - with short attention span that online videos have formed in modern audience.
The story isn't very interesting nor complex, but paranoia surrounding criminal underworld and fast pace make it sort of fascinating to watch. Action scenes - thanks to "found footage" method, resemble more of a video game than action show.
While generally quite average show, I do not regret my time watching this. Especially since that time was pleasingly short, yet nicely action-packed. Other shows waste a ton of your time before you'll even figure out if you like them. Not here.

That's the tradition now in France to make so many topics about suburbs ghettos and dealers, pusher and brutal cops, poverty and unemployment; social dramas, crime realistic topics that most of audiences search. This one belongs to the long long list of those LA HAINE or MA CITE VA CRAQUER rip-offs. I did not expect much. But I tried anyway. And don't regret it. The most powerful sequence was for me when, in the last episode two of the hoodlums go to kill one of their opponents and proceed like real pros. They put some band aids around their wrists before the killing so that no powder residue remains later, no clue. They proceed so rapidly in a very accurate and so fast movements Like, they behave like real pros, and I admire that. That's for me a good series. The equivalent of SNABBA CASH, another TV series from Scandinavia and on the same subject. But it was supposed to be found footage stuff from beginning to the end, actually it is not. Some sequences are found footage and many more are not, but just filmed in the "classical" way. And one more important thing: the only nasty, disgusting character of this awesome series , is someone we don't see at all; we ONLY hear his voice. I speak of course of the "producer" who sends the two "journalists" in the ghetto in order to get the hottest material to obtain the most audiences possible for his own benefits and at their own risks. He doesn't care at all of the means, only the results count. The true and authentic motherf....for me. And, in the end, when this b....realizes that this situation goes too far, BECAUSE HE ASKED IT IN THIS WAY; and again at the risk of his "employees" he then runs away from his responsabilities. I would have paid to have a sequence where this SOB is caught by the hoodlums and torn to pieces. Really, that would have been a big huge scene. Because this character is the main responsible of this tragedy.
This show is very representative of the French "ghetto" (called "la cité"). The storyline is kinda fast but still surprising. The first three episiodes describe with magic how "le charbon" works, then the story is developped around the main carachter 'Tony'.
I enjoyed the show (probably 'cause French is my native language) and wanted to give it a 10 but there were some BAAAAD "actors" who made the show looks like a student project.
That makes me wonder ; why would Netflix risk it with a BAD casting?
Usually I like this kind of series from urban ghetos ... I was impatiently waiting for this one. But... No, sorry, even if the pitch is not bad, but really simple, the series fall into too stereotypical "clichés".
Above all, we hear insults (btw always the same : Son of... and Shut up...) literally every 30 seconds, that's quickly becomes very very very annoying... 5/10 for the effort.
Adapted from a film by the same name and turned into a "found footage" style episodic gangster caper Caïd can have a wonderfully kinetic energy to it but often lapses into tropes and rather artificial contrivances. A lot of the time when characters angrily bark "why are you filming this?" you have to agree. The short 10 minute blasts of it can work for and against it as well, and it seems a shame they didn't play with the running times a bit more as the endings can feel abrupt.
It's not all bad though - it's nice to get a glimpse of a fairly underrepresented part of France and I felt for both Franck and Tony, trapped in their violent predicaments by different forces. So yes - not a revelation but certainly interesting and the first French series I've seen the entire way through.
