The Big Picture Following the larger-than-life adventures of French businessman Bernard Tapie, Class Act on Netflix fuses fiction and reality to create a cautionary tale about careerism and unhinged ambition. The seven-episode series captures everything from the man's initial entrepreneurial ventures to his rise to political office, extending a quick glance over the events that defined the life of the French businessman.
Remarkable success followed him when he decided to buy debt-ridden companies and turn them into money-making machines through his genius and charisma. As reflected through Laurent Lafitte’s character, Tapie was always proud of his achievements and openly flaunted his wealth. The now-sporting giant Adidas became the crowning glory in the portfolio of companies Tapie owned.
Class Act also focuses on the businessman’s love for all things media. He released several pop songs starting in the 1960s. His stint as a television show host for the monthly economics television program Ambitions further established his image as a visionary and inspirational personality. After his prison sentence, Tapie decided to explore his other interests including acting.
Tapie’s legal battle with Crédit Lyonnais bank, which continued much after the events of the series and until his death in 2021, was also not discussed in Class Act. But the event from which the battle originated was mentioned. In fact, the sale of Adidas was shown as a subject of rising tension between Tapie and Dominique. In Class Act, Tapie felt strongly against selling the sporting giant, which he called a family company.
