Step into the adrenaline-pumping world of MMA
with The Cage (La Cage), the gripping French drama from acclaimed filmmaker Franck Gastambide. In this action-packed series, we follow Taylor (Melvin Boomer), a reserved underdog with UFC dreams, who skyrockets to fame after an unexpected knockout during a sparring session with Ibrahim (French rapper Bosh), a feared MMA contender. What starts as a viral moment quickly evolves into Taylor's journey through the cutthroat world of professional fighting.

Guided by legendary UFC icons like Georges St-Pierre, Jon Jones, and Ciryl Gane, Taylor battles both in and out of the cage, facing fierce opponents and personal struggles in a story that captures the spirit of an underdog chasing greatness. With just five episodes, The Cage delivers heart-pounding action, unforgettable characters, and a fresh spotlight on Black French-speaking talent breaking barriers on Netflix.

TeaRon dives into the drama, dissecting the series' authenticity, its depiction of MMA culture, and its impact on both fight fans and drama lovers alike.
