Escort Boys

There are a wide range of heartfelt emotions in this season 1 series. Ben's father has died, and his mother earlier, so he returns to the family farm, which raises honey from their bees. Left is his sister, Charly, who is 17 and needs to show a stable family life to remain there. The farm is on the verge of total default, with no money, and the bank ready to possess everything. Ben has good friends Ludo, Zak and Mathias. Mathias has a way with women and earns good money. Since honey cannot pay enough of the bills, they decide to try an escort service, and Charly acts as the business manager. It is done with a lot of humor and also a learning curve for them, as they are beholden to the desires of the woman who hire them. One of the subplots is that Ben is still madly in love with Romane, who has since married Chef Pierre Morand, and thinks he can still win her back. And how Ludo, being married to Nora, got an entire change in his marriage through his work. Nora became almost glowing. This series should elicit a lot of smiles from the viewer.

Took me 2 episodes to suss who's voice was dubbed over Lupin/Ben's voice for the English version.....It's Will Mellor!... Perfect comedy timing that Mr mellor is so fantastic at! I can't believe I put off watching this great giggle... Loads of flesh and sexyness and comedy to boot... It's like a more grown up on steroids version of full monty at first.. love all the twists and plot lines! Great scenery too. I like how each character has their own story to tell. You're in for a non misogynistic viewing. Great turn the tables kinda show. All the male and female cast are beautiful in their own rights and certainly not a one size fits all show.

I rarely watch a series twice but couln't resist watching it once again. Can't wait to see the second season appear.

The series is a piece of art in my opinion. Apart from the very sexy and great as well as partially famous characters, the storyline is quite profound. There's so much love to the detail from skillful lighting to framing of the scenes with artistic positioning of the characters, props and playing with the focus of the camera up to matching music. Great scenery and lovely integration of the local nature of the Camargue. Maybe not everyone appreaciates all these details but it's outstanding from many other series in my opinion.

I also loved small appearances such as Amanda Lear in one scene as well as a transgender actor in another scene (don't want to spoil too much by adding the name at this point). They even managed to hint towards what's happening by the lighting, focus and dialogue before the scene revealed what's going on. It's nice and so important in current times to not just let someone play a transgender person but they also casted some beautiful actor who represents a whole community even if it only was for one small scene.

First of all the environs are fabulous. At first glance it could be Australia or the USA but is actually set in France so the whole feel of the programme is different and all the better for it. I'm 2 episodes in and have already laughed a lot out loud but it also does pathos with one of the characters having a hard time with his life. Gorgeous actors also helps and again as it's not Hollywood, the faces of the actors take you to France. It's themes are not original but it is far more complex than the seminal movie shot in Sheffield. It will to interesting to see where this goes storywise and hopefully some of the female characters will have their stories expanded.

This is a brilliant series! It's simply genius and the actors are excellent and very beautiful! There are many twists to the story which are thought provoking. I often found myself laughing then crying, then laughing again. It's beautifully written and directed. It also makes you dream about the Camargue, as you can often see its fabulous landscape. I also love how the show conveys a sense of equality between men and women. It is very sexy and features some very saucy and hot scenes, but it's never vulgar. Watch this series... I'm sure most viewers will love it! An additional note: the British voice of Ben/Lupin is provided by an actor named Chris Anderson.
