« Real neighbors, false friends » on Apple TV +: to lose the house – Liberation

Ten years after the end of Mad Mendo we want to see Jon Hamm again in half-god supervisor, tormented? Yes of course. The actor had and always has this rare chic to suggest the temptation of the fall, of the social crash, under his physique as a obsolete Hollywood star. In Real neighbors, false friends (French translation boulevardière de Your Friends and Neighbors), here he is playing Andrew Cooper, specialist in a freshly dismissed hedge fund. Like any self -respecting TV serieshe began a criminal career to maintain his lifestyle, pay the alimony and the studies of his children.

It starts slightly (chewing a luxury watch) and turning to the systematic burglary of its neighbors and acquaintances in a chic suburb of the East Coast. Hamm is an excellent soloist, adjusting his Don Draper partition (square jaw, ideas that do not turn round, triangle in love) at a sharp comic rate since at least the series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015-2019). It is his entourage who sins, a gallery of secondary characters who force themselves to be interesting (the depressed sister, the sex friend …), except the ex-wife (Amanda Peet), with whom alchemy is undeniable.
