À Beira do Caos

Come on! This series is so much fun. I could totally relate to the characters, had many laughs, and had a kick out of seeing Jennifer Hart and the Man from Atlantis. Also loved revisiting The Rapture in The Party episode. Great job, Julie! I mean, Madame Delpy. ;-D.

The show is different, kinda realistic but not that typical realistic we are used to on this type of comedies. Each character had their likable and unlikable aspects and this I loved. A couple of scenes were too cringy for my tasted, the acting was mostly good, maybe some aspects of the stories needed more development, but hey! It's comedy! Or "dramedy".

This was so, so stupid, pathetic and unmoving. The characters completely unbelievable and unbearable. What a waste of a potentially good foundation and ensemble of characters.

Like it or not Woody Allen lives on in shows like this. I love that it's confronting and often awkward. I love that the women don't all look like cookie cutter Instagram models. The French choose character over glamour. The relationships are shockingly age appropriate, and the relationship troubles are real. Maybe exaggerated slightly, perhaps not.

It definitely has a 'Woody Alleness' to it in the best kind of way.

Maybe it's because I'm a mom in my mid 30s but I found this show incredibly relatable and hilarious. I truly do not understand the low ratings and negative reviews... Maybe people didn't stick around long enough? At first the characters are unlikable but they grow on you. I especially relate to Elizabeth Shue's character.

Anyway, give this show a shot if you like smart, funny, sometimes awkward shows that don't feature picture perfect actors.
