Privileges (2026)

## A solid 6/10 drama ruined by a cheap superhero finale

Everything goes well until the paroled bellhop takes a dizzying leap from the balcony of a five-star hotel. Up to this point, the final sixth episode deserves praise. The protagonist, Adèle, played by Manon Bresch, is portrayed as a strong-willed girl caught in the grip of circumstances, haunted by the fear of violating her parole and ending up back behind bars. The tension is driven by subtle psychological friction and social inequality. But then, the show takes a sharp turn into implausible action. Adèle suddenly transforms into a sort of Ethan Hunt or Jason Bourne, pulling off stunts straight out of a cheap Hollywood blockbuster. It's a classic *deus ex machina*: instead of outsmarting the ruling elites with wit and cunning, she simply switches into superhero mode.
