Super Mâles

Very entertaining side splitting humour Do not watch this if you looking for something serious.

It's basically the same story as Alphamales also on this platform.

But do not compare . The story is irrelevant. It's light hearted fun.

If you do not speak French watch with subtitles. Do not watch dubbed as it loses the nuances of french culture and humour.

Alphamales is in Spanish and the same applies . Watch with subtitles and retain the essence of the Spanish culture. The dubbed version is in English has American accents and makes no sense if watched this way.

If you looking gif something serious this is not for you.

Just sit down one afternoon binge the series it is very entertaining relaxing and will for sure lift your mood.

Netflix, the money that was used to make Shafted would have been better spent on something else than this. The Spanish AlphaMales: 10 stars from 10. The French Shafted: not worth rating. It's not the actors' fault, sometimes Netflix's matrix slips into error. There's no chemistry between the characters, no magic that makes you wait for each new episode week after week while watching a good series, or if all the episodes are available, you binge watch them in one night and watch them again in a few months. There are good series remakes, but Shafted is not one of them. If it hadn't been for the original Spanish version, it wouldn't have been worse.

Is this a joke? This show feels like a poorly executed, watered-down copy of Machos Alfa, the Spanish series. The scenarios and ideas seem blatantly stolen, yet they fail to capture the originality, humor, and charm of the original. Everything, from the character development to the storytelling, is significantly weaker, making it a pale imitation at best. It lacks the wit, depth, and engaging dynamics that made Machos Alfa enjoyable. Instead of bringing something fresh to the table, it merely recycles ideas in a way that feels uninspired and dull. A huge disappointment and a complete waste of time.

I was very disappointed today the least. My husband and I couldn't even get through the first 20mn! It feels inauthentic, dull and forced. I didn't laugh once nor was I amused. And why is there a naked butt every 2 minutes? Netflix has so many shows that NEED a second season and they threw money away at this debauchery. A waste of time.

Oh, and I'm fluent in French. Still not any funnier.

Alpha Males, the original show in Spanish is witty, funny and the characters feel real and genuine. You actually want to follow their journey. You're invested in them and BELIEVE their struggles.

Netflix has so many shows that are violent, end of the world scenarios, depressing. I had high hopes for this series.

This is a carbon copy of another show on Netflix called Alpha Males. However Alpha Males is based in Madrid and the characters are more likeable, funnier and entertaining.

Maybe the backdrop of sunny Madrid versus the mirky Paris gloom lends more to the satirical premise which allows Alpha Males to shine (pun intended)

Both shows are about 4 middle aged male friends with differing relationship statuses with their women. They attend a class on toxic masculinity with the aim to make themselves better men.

Alpha Males strives to explore genuine gender topics of discussion in a comedic yet entertaining style. However Shafted doesn't seem to explore any gender bias with real conviction and your left with a not very funny comedy.

If you've already watched Alpha Males this will be a distinct disappointment.
