Plus belle la vie

I just found out I cannot see PBLV in advance. I will miss my 25 mn no brainer soap

I am hooked on Plus Belle La Vie on TV5 Monde - Europe. The story lines are the staples of the soap universe, to be sure, but there is something appealing about the cast (all attractive enough to appear in an Australian soap!) and the setting (the city of Marseilles looks absolutely lovely) that makes it more attractive than the grim misery of EastEnders. I would say it is more akin to Emmerdale in feel - the humour, the melodrama, the age range of characters...

I want escapism from a soap and Plus Belle La Vie delivers every time. As entertainment it does its job very well. And my French is improving with every episode!

The first French series reaching 4000 episodes ! 15 years later, it is still focusing on actuality (terrorism, gestational surrogacy, climate change, transenders, etc...) so the authors have lot of ideas to create exciting plots.

The onle negative point may be the number of characters: at the beginning of the series (in 2004) there were only 18 main characters and now...they are more than 60 ! And there is a bad turnover: some characters are very present and others are almost always absent.

This is a French answer to UK's Eastenders and Emmerdale. Pleasant and easy to watch.

Plus belle la vie is a series that tells the daily life of the resident Of mistrale Of Marseille. Her am actuality of life(covid 19) Plus belle la vie maybe concerne all ages. I recommend her for the youg. Because it sHows that life can be difficult.
