I love French comedies and that unique French sense of humor you either love or don’t quite get (and this series has plenty of both). “On va s’aimer un peu, beaucoup”(“Family Business”) It shows the political and social changes the country is undergoing and it tackles the topic of France’s bad relationship with other countries.Įven though the show is obviously a parody of France’s situation during the Cold War era, the sociopolitical background is shown in a very accurate way, so this series is perfect if you want to know a bit more about French history while having a laugh. The series offers a parodic view of a time when France was a Great Power already in crisis. We remain in Paris, but this time we travel to the ’60s to follow the adventures of André Merlaux, who’s been hired by the French Secret Services as a trainee officer.

If you like spy movies with a twist, you’re in for a treat, because this dramedy has spy drama parody written all over it. “Au service de la France”(“A Very Secret Service”) That’s all I’m telling you.Īnd don’t worry, I also felt kind of guilty rooting for him while binge-watching the whole series in one day. His goal? Stealing Marie Antoinette’s necklace. But he’s also charming and skillful, and you’d never guess he’s planning a heist at the Louvre. That’s Assane Diop, the main character of a show that snagged the position of the most-watched series on Netflix in the first quarter of 2021.Īssane has a thirst for vengeance that goes back to when he was a child. Imagine a Senegalese Sherlock Holmes turned James Bond turned gentleman thief Lupin. We remain in Paris for a bit longer, because “Lupin” also takes place in the French capital. Add to that mix real Hollywood actors (like Juliette Binoche or Sigourney Weaver) who pretend to be their clients on occasional guest appearances, and you get one of the most hilarious and authentic shows you’ll find on the platform. The issue is that these agents have chaotic personal lives, workplace conflicts and crazy meetings-something many of us can relate to. While possibly trying to mock the role of the real film agent, the writers of the show didn’t realize this series would actually make their main characters so interesting. The series depicts the daily lives of four rather incompetent film agents who’d do everything in their power to make their clients happy… while profiting from them (the French title is translated as “Ten percent,” which is the cut the agents get). This superb dramedy (drama + comedy) is the perfect example of how witty writing, good acting and the city of Paris are enough to hit the Netflix jackpot. If you’ve never heard of “Dix pour cent,” you have my permission to stop reading and go check it out.
