From Yaound\u00e9 to Abidjan via Dakar and Ouagadougou, viewers responded every evening around 4 p.m. to experience the incredible adventures of their heroes. <strong>Madame, Monsieur<\/strong> produced and directed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100044401635059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebenezer Kepombia<\/a> a.k.a Mitoumba and broadcast on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.a-plus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A+<\/a> channel has captivated the public. If the first season was more focused on the tumultuous relations between several couples, season 2 took a new direction by adding a little thriller side with investigations and murders. The series was also an opportunity to confirm the talent of actresses and actors like <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Emy_Dany_Bassong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Emy Dany Bassong<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eshurigo.leproprio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eshu Tamwa<\/a>.

The success of the series can also be explained by the communication strategy put in place by the film crew, but also by the presence of well-known actresses such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top?q=muriel%20blanche\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Muriel Blanche<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hervenguetchofficiel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Herve Nguetch<\/a> and many others.
