Dix Pour Cent/ Call My Agent: French TV and Film on Netflix

Just wanted to recommend this TV show to others learning/ speaking French. It's about a Paris media agency dealing with stars and is full of likeable characters. Plus every episode it has a famous French actor or actress: Isabelle Adjani, Juliette Binoche so far.

Any more French recos?

I have just finished watching this and absolutely loved it! I have been learning French in my own time and it was nice to actually listen to proper spoken French than textbook style and pick up some phrases!

Can anyone recommend any other decent French tv series? I’m so sad I’ve finished all three seasons!

Really enjoyed it too - apparently lots of French stars were keen to do cameos. Isabelle Huppert was great. Interestingly, the actor who plays the main female agent (Camille Cottin) is playing Fleabag in the French remake of Phoebe Waller Bridge's series. www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2018/tv/news/fleabag-french-version-studiocanal-first-in-house-production-1203034569/amp/ which I'd love to see as she's great in this.
If you haven't seen Spiral (Engrenages) that is amazing, but Amazon Prime shows Le bureau des légendes, which is hands-down one of the best series in any language I've ever seen. Amazing writing, I'd highly recommend it.

All 4 has Walter Presents which has lots of foreign language programmes. I enjoyed The Money Shot, a French drama about a family who make porn films.

Just googled and realised that the character I like is called Andrea, not Alex! I think she'd be excellent as a French Fleabag.

This is a lovely series and has been perfectly cast.

I can recommend A Very Secret Service - 1960s a new recruit joins. It s comedy/drama & I really enjoyed it!
