Super Mâles

I was very disappointed today the least. My husband and I couldn't even get through the first 20mn! It feels inauthentic, dull and forced. I didn't laugh once nor was I amused. And why is there a naked butt every 2 minutes? Netflix has so many shows that NEED a second season and they threw money away at this debauchery. A waste of time.

Oh, and I'm fluent in French. Still not any funnier.

Alpha Males, the original show in Spanish is witty, funny and the characters feel real and genuine. You actually want to follow their journey. You're invested in them and BELIEVE their struggles.

Netflix has so many shows that are violent, end of the world scenarios, depressing. I had high hopes for this series.

Very entertaining side splitting humour Do not watch this if you looking for something serious.

It's basically the same story as Alphamales also on this platform.

But do not compare . The story is irrelevant. It's light hearted fun.

If you do not speak French watch with subtitles. Do not watch dubbed as it loses the nuances of french culture and humour.

Alphamales is in Spanish and the same applies . Watch with subtitles and retain the essence of the Spanish culture. The dubbed version is in English has American accents and makes no sense if watched this way.

If you looking gif something serious this is not for you.

Just sit down one afternoon binge the series it is very entertaining relaxing and will for sure lift your mood.

Netflix, the money that was used to make Shafted would have been better spent on something else than this. The Spanish AlphaMales: 10 stars from 10. The French Shafted: not worth rating. It's not the actors' fault, sometimes Netflix's matrix slips into error. There's no chemistry between the characters, no magic that makes you wait for each new episode week after week while watching a good series, or if all the episodes are available, you binge watch them in one night and watch them again in a few months. There are good series remakes, but Shafted is not one of them. If it hadn't been for the original Spanish version, it wouldn't have been worse.

I see that most reviews are comparing this show with its Spanish counterpart. I didn't watch the Spanish one but rather watched this and had a fun binge. I don't see any reason or sense to compare these two as this one was made for French audience with their lifestyle in mind. While I understand that the other one covered the gender aspects more profoundly but I don't understand why this has to cover to the same extent. Anyways, I wouldn't trust reviews (you don't need to trust mine) but if you want a fun quick watch, you can try this show. And as other review suggests, might as well leave the voice in French with subtitles to have a better experience.

This series makes no sense whatsoever. The opening scene suggests that the show will have some kind of progression, but it doesn't deliver. The therapy, supposedly the key element of the synopsis and attention grabber, is simply sidelined, and the plot barely revisits it. The development is slow and repetitive, leading to an obvious and disappointing ending that provides no satisfaction to viewers.

Overall, the series Super Mâles is a failed attempt to create a French version of the Spanish series Alpha Males.

Watching more than one episode is simply a waste of time.

Ps: might have been less critical without a character limit, but any positive fact would have been against my better judgement.
