The Scandinavian thriller “October” on Netflix
If there is a reason for autumn (apart from the opening of the raclette season of course), it is to be able to shut yourself away again at home without feeling guilty, and to watch series in the chain, well warm under a blanket. And what better than a little thriller to start? Netflix just went live October (The Chestnut Man in its original version), the serial adaptation of the eponymous novel by Søren Sveistrup, to whom we owe in particular The Killing. A very dark Scandinavian thriller inevitably, on the investigation of two police officers around the murder of a woman in the suburbs of Copenhagen. The little extra? A terrifying little man in chestnuts left at the crime scene, and on all those that follow thereafter … A breathtaking and well-crafted series in six episodes, to watch only under a plaid, and preferably in pajamas.
Snoop Dogg told by Jean-Pascal Zadi on Arte
For those who are much more into music than Nordic thrills, Arte devotes a beautiful series to hip-hop culture at the moment. Throughout the month of October, the channel’s website notably offers a documentary on Snoop Dogg – The Rap Legend (
to see here), narrated in its French version by director Jean-Pascal Zadi. The film looks back on the history and career of this emblematic rapper from the American West Coast, but also on his forays into cinema, advertising or even the porn industry. The opportunity to discover or rediscover an extraordinary artist who marked the hip-hop of the 1990s as well by his funk sounds, his escapades or his spectacular consumption of firecrackers.
The saga of French rap is told on Mouv ‘
We cross the Atlantic again but we stay in the same musical register. Since the end of September, the Mouv ‘site has paid tribute to French rap with the podcast From concrete to clouds, a series directed by Raphaël Da Cruz and narrated by Pascal Cefran. Available in 11 episodes, the podcast looks back on four decades of rap history in France, from the pioneers to the new generation. Discover the first three episodes
this way, and are interested in the founding fathers, the “boom bap years” and the Marseille scene.
