The new series teenage-drama stamped, Netflix is arriving this weekend on our screens. The opportunity to do a small tour of the show with Guy Pearce.

Since his arrival in France on 15 September 2014, the streaming platform has continued to experience a meteoric rise. With nearly 125 million subscribers in the world (in the news), including 2.5 million in France, the American giant crashes to the tune of billions of dollars to its competitors and if necessary (for the time) as the supreme leader of the SVoD.

More than a service, Netflix has become a brand, a symbol. Necessarily, who is said to impact commercial said necessarily slogan, “Netflix & Chill”, but also new terms specifically invented for them, like the famous : “binge-watching.”
