“Banger”: Vincent Cassel Shows His Versatility in Netflix’s Eccentric Comedy

Vincent Cassel stars in Netflix’s new production that blends comedy, thriller, and electronic music.

Shafted Season 1 Review: Smart in Theory, Messy in Execution

Netflix’s Shafted (originally Super Males) explores the comedy of masculinity in crisis. Following four middle-aged friends—Cédric, Tom, Jérémie, and Tonio—the series examines their challenges with relationships, career setbacks, and changing gender roles in contemporary Paris. Each man, in his own way, feels disconnected from the current world, leading them to a court-mandated masculinity workshop meant to challenge their outdated attitudes. The show’s concept intrigues—men compelled to face their worst impulses in an environment created to disassemble them. Cédric, a self-proclaimed dominant male, resents his female colleague’s promotion. Tom clings to his divorce like a trophy. Jérémie’s sense of masculinity wobbles under erectile dysfunction, while Tonio, a serial cheater, recoils when his girlfriend suggests an open relationship. The humor shifts between cutting and exaggerated, occasionally delivering pointed social observations but frequently relying on physical comedy. The setup implies an exploration of gender dynamics, yet Shafted remains hesitant.
