Ten Percent

Initially it seemed awkward and contrived, but looking at it without considering Call My Agent, I think it is working quite well. One of the characters looks like she is trying to be an actress in Twenty-Twelve, and it is almost embarrassing, but I do not think they are replicas of the French production, and I am enjoying it. Especially if they continue to relax.

Inevitably there are comparisons with the original French series, which I loved. However, this holds up very well and I became quickly hooked.

It is beautifully cast - Lydia Leonard, Maggie Steed and Tim McInnerney are always worth watching in Anything. Most of the rest are very good - though Mr Davenport does seem rather weary of it all.

I really hope a 2nd series is produced. If it is, then Please build Miss Steeds character, and Mr McInnerney's. He reminded me of Richard Harris - and even sounded like him, several times.

Good stuff!

There's lots of people criticising this series because it's "not as good as the French" version. I haven't seen the French version and thought Ten Percent is very funny in parts. It takes a few episodes to get into it, but really enjoyed the cast and special appearances, especially Dominic West as a frightened actor.

I did enjoy "call my agent" for its quirkiness, its humor, scenes of Paris , wit etc. But After watching 2 series I found trying to read the subtitles as fast as the actors said the lines more and more difficult and .distracting. But it was entertaining and fun. I find this version has much of the same spirit but being able to concentrate on watching the acting nuances , instead of desperately reading the sub titles very rewarding. I have watched 3 episodes so far and and enjoying getting in to it, its An English version of the original, not simply a translation of the original....and as such I find it an enjoyable watch.

Really enjoyed this. It's got virtually nothing in common with the French version & that doesn't matter. More of a dark comedy drama than Call my Agent.
