Disney+ has launched the new French comedy series Surveillant! on Wednesday, September 16. The show offers a humorous look at the (fictional) daily lives of prison guards. Audrey Lamy stars as Corinne, the director of a fictional detention center in the town of Chénoise. Her life becomes comically complicated when her estranged son, with whom she has had no contact for years, is sent to the facility she oversees. Audrey Lamy has compared Surveillant! to the popular French show H with Eric and Ramzy, which blends absurd humor with serious settings. Like that show, Surveillant! features characters who are exaggeratedly delusional or eccentric, yet the show is set in a formal, structured environment. The series includes a mix of established actors and comedy stars, such as Jean-Pascal Zadi, Benjamin Tranié, and Eva Huault, alongside recognizable names like Jérémy Nadeau, François Damiens, Gustave Kervern, and Hakim Jemili. Eva Huault, who plays a key role in the series, has been praised by her co-stars for her talent and presence. Jean-Pascal Zadi remarked that she is only showing 10% of her full potential and noted that many are trying to cast her in their films due to her magnetic energy. Benjamin Tranié praised her acting skills, kindness, and overall positive trajectory, expressing joy at her success. Jean-Pascal Zadi, who plays a guard seeking love, explains that the series uses the prison setting as a backdrop for exaggerated, comedic situations. Just as H with Eric and Ramzy used a hospital environment to explore dramatic themes in a humorous way, Surveillant! aims to blend drama with comedy. Whether audiences will embrace this "crazy series" remains to be seen, but it has already drawn attention for its bold approach and talented cast.
