FilmRise Séries France

FilmRise Séries France is a curious outlier in the French free-TV landscape: it's essentially a nostalgia channel built around the FilmRise library of older American and British series, dubbed into French. The programming leans heavily on procedurals and sitcoms from the 80s through early 2000s, think Columbo, Murder She Wrote, The Golden Girls, and the occasional B-movie. It's not trying to win awards. The scheduling feels barely curated, blocks repeat with minimal variation, and weekends get marathons that either soothe or annoy depending on your tolerance for second-tier reruns. What saves it is the sheer volume of content. After 10pm, the schedule often shifts to darker crime dramas or obscure action series you've never heard of, which can be a pleasant surprise. The channel's absence of original production or any live programming makes it feel like a dead-zone between proper TV and a streaming service. But if you want to watch FilmRise Séries France live, it's a reliable comfort-food feed, perfect background noise for a lazy afternoon.
