Huge in France

I have graded this an eight overall because although there were a couple of middle series episodes that were less interesting, around six or seven the stories became quite riveting. I did think this was going to be comedic, fish out of water, all the way through. But actually the rather tragic Alan had me rooting for him to get a break. Gad's son Luke I had pegged as a spoiled brat. But he turned out to be the most focused. I was sorry when this finished. Hope there is a follow up.

I don't write a lot of reviews here. There's just no need for more of the same echos in the fray. strangely, (to me), this show is sitting at a 6.8 and that is sorely underrated, so I felt obligated. Euro humour is often lost on us North Americans. This show provides a well written blend of the two styles. There is a depth to the characters and a sharp intelligence to scripts that I think is lost on a lot of people. (Like D'elia's sick jokes).

Give it a try but try to see it with an open perspective. I hope you like it as much as I.

This show is awesome. I love the fight of France vs. L.A. and am laughing out loud every episdode. I'm picky with comedy and this show deserves a higher rating.

I'm French so I guess I have a different view because I know who Gad is. He really is one of the most famous French speaking comedians and really makes big shows. It's funny because he makes fun of himself, of his own life with his kids (his first son really is a model) and also of Americans through his own vision. It is full of clichés on purpose and on both sides, which makes it interesting.

This is actually quite a clever series. I think the subtlety is lost on the people who are leaving poor reviews. There is satirical intensity in a few scenes which some might mistake for being serious. I don't think Americans will understand the humour as much as the British, especially with how it pokes fun at the LA culture.
