the best series (outside the Star Wars and Marvel universes)
When you take Disney+, it’s mainly to watch a Disney classic with the children, introduce them to the Star Wars universe or have a movie session at home with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We think less about series and we imagine, perhaps wrongly, that Netflix does better on this side.
Really ?
In this selection we are going to present you some nuggets by putting aside the TV series related to Marvel and Star Wars. These are sufficiently highlighted on TV and on the Internet and there are so many others…

Our selection of Disney+ series
Sneakers
Baskets (Zach Galifianakis) is a clown who learned the trade in France, but who returns to the country must resolve to accept a job as a rodeo clown. Telling you more would spoil the fun. An excellent series by Louis CK
dopesick
This short series narrates the health scandal relating to the marketing of OxyContin. A Tragic True Story Starring Michael Keaton, Rosario Dawson (Kids, Clerks 2, The Mandalorian) and Michael Stuhlbarg (Boardwalk Empire, Doctor Strange, The Shape of Water). When the big pharmaceutical companies are ready to do anything to reach their end…
The Dropout
The true story (again) of Elizabeth Holmes, a businesswoman who invented and marketed a revolutionary device to perform medical diagnoses from a single drop of blood. Billionaire at 20, the fairy tale does not last: it is a vast fraud…
Solar Opposite

Four aliens are stranded on Earth following the destruction of their home planet. If Korvo the scientist is doing everything to repair their ship and choose another destination, Terry doesn’t hear it that way, because he loves junk food and all the earthly (sub)culture. The other two are not children, but “replicants”. A crazy universe and “side plots”: we love it.
Touch
Martin Bohm’s (Kiefer Sutherland) son has autism and has the uncanny ability to connect events that seem to have nothing in common. Very quickly Martin realizes that his son is not the only one and that a private company covets these people to try to predict the future…
Next
An artificial intelligence created by Silicon Valley bigwigs threatens to precipitate humanity in its fall. Said like that, it’s cheap but it’s a series to see, just for the very good John Slattery (Mad Men, Endgameetc.)
Y, the Last Man
When all the Y-chromosome carriers on the planet suddenly die (except one guy), it’s a bit of a mess. The new president of the USA is not at all prepared for her new duties and we have to do without men in many areas. How will humanity survive and who will open the pickle jars?
The Americans
Watch out, masterpiece! The Americans it is the story of two Russian spies who are infiltrated in the United States of the 80s. Although they do not know each other, they start a family, have children and live like perfect little Americans, but they do not think in fact only of the victory of the Motherland over the capitalist mess. A thrilling series with an ending. Yes yes, a real end not shipped and well done.
Oussekine
Oussekine it is the story of the events of 1986 which led to the death of Malik Oussekine, beaten to death by the police, and of his family’s struggle to have the truth heard. The France of the 80s is quite well transcribed. A French series that gives itself the means.
“Classic” series to discover or rediscover
- 24 : A pissed off CIA guy is torturing terrorists in the name of good. A season lasts 24 hours divided into 24 one-hour episodes. The action therefore takes place in “real time”.
- Earl : A loser discovers the concept of “karma” and tries to redeem himself with the people he has hurt.
- Prison Break : A very smart guy getting imprisoned on purpose to get his asshole brother out.
- Malcolm : The life of a large family. A lunar father, a maniacal mother and a close-knit sibling with a genius, a jerk, a rebel and… Dewey.
- american dad : Animated series by Seth McFarlane which narrates the adventures of the Smith family. Dad works at the CIA and there’s a schizophrenic alien lurking in the attic.
- Scrubs : The hilarious adventures of medical interns in an American hospital. A must see.
- Homeland : A bipolar girl from the CIA is convinced that a marine ex-prisoner of Al-Qaeda has reversed her jacket.
- The Killing : Excellent detective series to see absolutely. One season = one investigation, so you don’t have to watch everything…
- Futurama : A New York pizza delivery boy finds himself cryogenically frozen in the year 2000 and wakes up 1000 years later.
- American Horror Story : Scary stories. Again with the scheme one season = one story.
Don’t have Disney+ yet?
Ever since Netflix’s price hike, many people have wondered if the platform is still worth it. If this is your case, why not try the Disney+ experience? You can very well pause your subscription, Netflix will keep your profile in memory for 7 months. You therefore have the opportunity to reconsider your decision. At Disney+ the price is 8.99/month with 4K Dolby Atmos resolution on 4 screens. To have the same thing at Netflix, you have to pay € 17.99 for the Premium package.
The only problem with Disney+ compared to Netflix is that the platform is not available on Internet boxes. Even if consumption habits have changed and children will be able to watch on their tablet, having their programs on their TV is still ideal for a family. For those who absolutely want to have Disney+ in the living room, you can enjoy it on Smart TV, Box Android TV, Apple TV and even on consoles, but if you don’t have any of that, you can also enjoy it with Canal+ on the myCanal app or with a decoder. From €20.99 you have everything Canal+ with Disney+!
Disney+ programs without Internet: download them!
Do you want to put a cartoon for the children in the car, but the tablet does not connect to the Internet? Want to watch a movie on the train, but 4G/5G isn’t working? On Disney+, it is possible to record programs and enjoy them offline. We explain everything in this video…
