1. “Braqueurs”
Genre:Crime drama I thought “Ganglands” was a super gripping television series that kept me on the edge of my seat (actually the edge of my bed with my laptop). It takes you deep into the gritty underbelly of organized crime in France. The show focuses on Sofiane, a young man who gets caught up in this world in the Parisian suburbs, which are more gritty and dangerous than you would think. They do the show in a nuanced way and really into the subtle and blurred lines between family and crimin...
2. “Dans la nuit”
Genre: Sci-fi thriller This thrilling television series follows a diverse group of individuals who find themselves aboard an overnight flight from Brussels as a cosmic event plunges the world into chaos. In this sci-fi series, the sun essentially malfunctions, turning deadly. Anyone exposed to it dies instantly. Faced with limited resources, the characters on the airplane have to figure out a way to survive in this new horrible reality.
3.“M’entends-tu?”
Genre:Dramedy This French Canadian show revolves around the lives of three women named Ada, Carolanne and Fabiola, who are best friends living in a poor Montreal neighborhood. They deal with things like personal struggles and dreams and they always rely on their strong friendship to get through the struggles to survive and prosper. The show is funny at times, and it’s also quite sad sometimes, so you can go from laughing to crying in one episode—at least I did!
13. “Nailed it! France”
Genre:Cooking contest Sometimes you just want to watch a reality show—believe me, I know the feeling. If you’re in that kind of mood, this baking competition show will do the trick. In each episode, amateur bakers with sometimes very limited skills attempt to recreate intricate and professional-looking desserts, which can lead to some hilarious results. The great thing about watching reality show is that they’re not scripted, so you really hear a lot of French slang and casual speech. I even...
14. “Chef’s Table France”
Genre:Cooking documentary This show is probably the classiest cooking show on Netflix. The American version was great, but as with most things food-related, the French take it up another notch, celebrating the culinary genius of renowned French chefs—each episode features one person. The cinematography is outstanding, which helps the stories resonate. It’s also quite beautiful to watch France though this lush camera work. The one thing I always take away from this show is how much passion and...
15. “The Parisian Agency”
Genre:Real estate reality If you like shows about real estate and want to have a look inside some of Paris’s most luxurious properties, this is the show for you. It follows a group of real estate agents as they work with sometimes impossibly demanding high-end clients. The drama never seems to end when you’re working with billionaire house hunters, so this show is never not entertaining. And like I said, maybe the best part of the show is getting to see inside all those historical Parisian ho...
17. “Marie Antoinette”
Genre: Historical drama France’s most famous deposed queen stars in this fresh take on the classic French story. The 21st century lens and modern style direction and acting really make this historical drama a lot of fun. I completely recommend it for its comedic bits and its accurate historic portrayals.
18. “Un village français”
Genre:Historical drama “A French Village” depicts the story of (you guessed it) a French village—the fictional village of Villeneuve. It’s the year 1940 and the village has been invaded by Germany’s military forces. A lot of the villagers have been killed in the process, and Villeneuve is now under German occupation. The series shows how the surviving inhabitants of the village have to cope with the new status quo,a situation that could be best described as “adapt, or else you won’t survive.”...
19. “Nicolas Le Floch”
Genre:Historical crime drama If Sherlock Holmes and his inseparable friend Dr. Watson had lived in 18th-century France, they’d probably have gone by the names of Nicolas Le Floch and Bourdeau, respectively. Get ready to travel to the Paris of Louis XV, where murder, plots against the crown and scandals are more common than having a bath. “Nicolas Le Floch” can be quite challenging for beginners and even intermediate learners of French, but the show is totally worth a watch for the intrigues,...
22. “7 jours sur la planète”
Genre: News We can kill two birds with one stone because we can be kept updated with the latest trends in news and also practice our French at the same time by watching “7 Days on the Planet.” This TV program provides a roundup of the latest news of the week, with a focus on the francophone (French-speaking) countries. You can also go onto the TV show’s websiteto engage in some fun interactive clips which have been classified according to the level of proficiency of the learners (A2 to B2 lev...
23. “bref.”
Genre:Comedy With almost 200 episodes, “bref.”is one of those YouTube channels you find by mistake one day and binge until four in the morning because you can’t stop watching. All videos on the channel are between one and three minutes long, making this funny channel perfect for microlearning study sessions. “bref.”depicts Parisian life in a sarcastic, humorous, sometimes even over-the-top way. The use of Parisian slang is possibly what makes this channel more challenging for beginners, but i...
24. “Caméra café”
Genre:Comedy “Caméra Café”takes drinking coffee at the office to the next level and adds an unexpected twist: the coffee drinkers are being observed! Located in the pantry area of the company, the coffee machine and its beverages become the conversation starter of each episode. Through the characters’ witty professional and private discussions around the coffee machine, this parody of the daily lives of French workers will keep you laughing and teach you lots of vocabulary related to corporat...

Now that you’ve got a list of interesting series to watch, you’ll need a plan for tackling them. Here are some points to consider before you grab some popcorn and settle in: 1.
