La Cage

" La Cage " it's like a new creed version but adapted on TV Show from France and it make weird to watch this type of content in other country than USA and it's pretty good cause it bring something else, very different but for me the TV show was too short and too unnatural a little bit !!!

For me it's too bad that the tv show during only 5 episodes I was the feeling that things happened too fast into the story, that's cool cause you don't feel boring or annoying at all and this is a very good point cause it's very the issue from screenwriters but there no matter with that but for 3 additional episodes will be great in order to know a bit more about the past of the main protagonist, explore more his family's trouble and some things else ... like this you feel more compassion for the character and the story and 8 or 9 episodes will be great to have a better story it's too bad !!!

But for me the script it's very good l, don't feel boring at all but if things could be happened more slowly it will be better unfortunately !!!!

The directing from Frank Gastambide was great like we used to see with his projects all credit on him never disappointed from him !!!

The acting was good but sometimes I felt some moment unnatural I don't know for why but that's I was feeling unfortunately!!!!

But the soundtrack, the shoots and twist was very great I think so that all MMA fan spent a good time cause it was very nice show even if for me, take more times about the story without go too fast will be great !!!

The quality of lights playing and CGI during fights was great too !!!

After a couple of episodes I started cheering against the main character. He is unlikable, makes ridiculous decisions and he constantly has a constipated or frustrated look on his face. He comes across as a generic meat-head with no depth. The rest of the characters are just as one dimensional.

I understand what they were trying to achieve. A young hungry contender gets an opportunity and fights his way to the top. Unfortunately the writers decided to take every possible shortcut then added a bunch of pointless forced conflicts in an amateurish attempt to create tension.

It's a shame the creators of the show decided against doing something a little more imaginative.

This is the type of show that will ruin Netflix. Its very foreseeable, very unrealistic and sometimes even very cringe worthy. I wouldnt recommend this show anyone except maybe MMA fans and French people (since it's a French production). The only positive thing are the MMA cameos. But other than that I hate the unrealistic storytelling, like it's the type of show where before every fight the main character suddenly gets confronted with some random problem and has to go somewhere before the fight which would never happen in real life. Or someone tells him something depressing right before the fight so the fight gets a little more interesting which it really needs because the fights are incredibly boring and unrealistic. Like, when the main character starts punching the opponent suddenly drops his defense for no reason at all. And this doesn't happen once but a lot of times, it really ruins the show for me. I can't really explain it, it's like watching a race with RC cars, a 3D Anime, a vegan burger, coffee with too much sugar, a controller with stick drift, you can watch it but you won't enjoy it, except if youre used to trash tv. 5/10 at most. Stop creating unrealistic, childish movies/tv shows you're ruining entertainment.

I'm a big fan of MMA and enjoyed the cameo roles of some big names.

The fight scenes were realistic and the underlying storyline offered another perspective to the plot.

My only criticism being the impact of the fights from a makeup viewpoint...

Enjoyed it so much, I binged watched from start to finish.

I'm at the point that my review is too short, so I'll try to pad it out.

The underlying storyline, with no spoilers offers another perspective as to why folk take up MMA, boxing and other high intensity sports.

Sorry, I need another 80 characters to make the cut. I suppose it stops poor reviews.

Needs new writers! Too many small mistakes. Like for instance, the mother and boyfriend, needed an ass kicking. Not realistic! Needs to be more realistic! Has the potential to be a great show. The small details matter alot. The script is weak and needs revamping. Call Samu Hong for help with choreography. Also, he will be beating Ibrahim ass and then one hit he's all done rolling on the mat come on! Just make this show more believable than it is. And 400 words to do a review this is also ridiculous! Why does everyone make things so difficult? The writers need to put more time and effort into this.
