'Dealer', the Netflix action series with episodes of less than 15 minutes

The first surprising thing about Dealer, the new Netflix series that just premiered in March, is the length of its first episode: about eight minutes. A French series starring Franck, a video clip director who has just closed a deal with Tony, the leader of a drug gang, who has just been released from prison. Dealer is an original series created and directed by Nicolás López and Ange Basterga , who are also screenwriters with Nicolas Peufaillit, The protagonists are Franck, whose role is played by actor Sébastien Houbani and the leader of the drug gang Tony played by Abdraman Diakite. Also in the cast we can find Mohamed Boudouh as Moussa and Idir Azougli in the role of Steve. DealerFranck and the cameraman What we see in the first minutes is that Franck and the cameraman are arriving carefree in their car to the place where they have met with Tony to record the video clip. As they get closer to that meeting point, they realize that everything can get complicated. Violent men who ask for their driver’s license and take their vehicle and a strange Tony who takes everything as a joke and who tries to give a false image of control of the situation. Franck and the cameraman will see that the video clip recording them makes involuntary witnesses to its main activity: drug trafficking. Everything will get complicated when they also realize that they are in the middle of a gang war for the control of drug trafficking in the south of France. A great mess from which the two protagonists will try to get out alive. An experiment by NetflixDealer is a challenge for Netflix that bets on the project of Ange Basterga and Nicolas Lopez.They decide to record the entire series through the camera that accompanies Franck as if it were a war fiction in the style of the prologue Saving Private Ryan, saving the distances of course. It is curious that the first episode is titled Spielberg, a director who has always liked this type of original project. The duration of the episodes is also surprising since, as we have already said, the first lasts just 8 minutes, the second 15 and the others 8 also do not exceed a quarter of an hour. A tension-laden pill format that traps viewers in a spiral of action and violence until the last episode. This Dealer series uses the resource of found footage to mark the suspense to the maximum.
