Call My Agent! (2015)

Watchseries; I loved the first two seasons of this series. It is truly delightful, wonderful actors, attractive, flawed but seductive characters, carefully constructed scenarios, sharp and memorable dialogue and consistently funny, often laugh-out loud (not generally a French speciality) and less often but in nicely judged moments, poignant and sweet. Parfait quoi. And like all the best TV you learn to follow the characters and the subject matter, necessary of course and super fun (French cinema, show biz, the often tough business world of a medium-sized agency, but less important than the drame comique. Nothing ever goes over the top, it plays with the cinema, the jobs actors have to do, their narcissism, of course, the sheer silliness of the films and nuttiness of the directors, but it is never cruel, cliched or mercilessly satiric. The Actors, real stars all take part in a particular story and the aura of their stardom is secondary, which is quite a testament to how good each episode is, Binoche Adjani Baye etc. are merely part of the story, they don't throw anything off balance., they are humanized but not with any larger drama in mind than shaping the story. Looking forward to the next two seasons.

Call My Agent! watchseries. I stumbled on this show & couidnt stop watching it. Great character development & storylines. Looking forward to season 3. Highly recommend!

Wonderfully observed portray of agents and their actors, their actors playing themselves in a spoof way, at the same time hilarious and then vulnerable, and so real that you attach yourself to each agent. Very witty satyre of the movie business made with such affection that you fall for it. Awesome.

Behind the great cast, storylines, wonderful guest stars, excellent soundtrack music and lotsa fun, there is a great deal of cleverness. Unlike American shows it is not wearing a PC corset.

Call My Agent is fresh, funny and so well done! It's pleasure to watch. From the behind the scenes aspect of a theatrical agency to the human interactions that can get twisted it's - to borrow a book phrase - a "page turner." Fresh perspectives, lies and blistering truths all wrapped up in a comedic bow, but a sophisticated, intelligent bow. Just such fun to watch. I can't wait for more episodes.

It is impossible not to like this show. It is a comedy with the brilliant idea of actors playing their own role. The acting is great and the screenplay is excellent. I have not seen Season 2 yet, but Season 1 is definitely worth watching. I hope that the French sense of humor translates well in other languages. I would bet that a US adaptation is on its way (because this is what happens, they pick ideas from others). So "très charmant", my dear.
