The Flame
Created by Jonathan Cohen, Jérémie Galan, Florent Bernard
On Canal+
A comedic parody of reality dating shows that plays the format for laughs rather than genuine stakes, built on irreverent humor and the absurdity of the competition itself.
For nine weeks, thirteen contenders will have to compete in a beautiful villa to try to seduce Marc, an airline pilot, looking for love. Which of these women will manage to light the flame?
