English Abstract

The fourth season of Ten Percent knows how to preserve some of its usual successes, but it does not reach the level of the previous ones, especially the third, showing irreversible signs of wear, with certain dynamics that are repeated and interventions of its guest stars not so achieved (and not because of them).

In the review I analyze a little more those achievements, the good and the not so good of this season.

English Review

_This review contains allusions to season 3 _ Recall that season 3 ended with the departure on bad terms of Mathias and Noemie (who whitewashed their relationship) from the ASK agency, potentially implying a migration of their client portfolio to rival StarMedia.

The fourth season of Ten Percent knows how to keep some of its successes, but it does not reach the level of the previous ones. It is impossible for him to overcome the grand finale of T3.

It retains its ability to alternate all its subplots with great solvency, even proceeding to a successful concentration of that alternation ending the chapters.

Aspects of tough disputes and shifting corporate loyalties are still very much present, catalyzed by a new agent from the rival agency, Elise (Anne Marivin), who makes up a highly accomplished villain and her character is perhaps the best novelty of the season. . Curiously, this important thematic line brings Ten Percent closer to the later English series Industry.

As for the invited actors and actresses (at least three are well known), they always put on a different and very real problem, but sometimes they are not completely comfortable as actors with the role that they play. Since they represent themselves in fiction in uncomfortable situations, but ironically, the result is sometimes not entirely convincing, as if a metafictional element was leaking.

Mathias and Noemi's new work environment is not very interesting. They remain two of the best actors in the cast, but their relationship does not sustain the strong interest it generated in the previous season.
