Plan Cœur

Season 2 is starting out with a very unrealistic story and I'm sure it will only get worse from here, but I'm afraid they've lost me. I'll consider the season 1 finale as the end of the story. That works better I think.

I watched it in original French, with English subtitles. It makes HUGE difference in perception. Generations B and X would hate it, Generation Y might like it. Generation Z would easily get hooked. The way it starts, Episode 1, is a put off. But if you stick, it gets better. Season 1 was much better than Season 2-lots of silliness that I didn't like. Season 1-7 stars, Season 2-5 stars. Acting was great, as expected from French Cinema. Sabrina Ouazani' voice is quite unique. Overall it is entertaining, humor is sharp and I don't agree with those who say it is full of cliches.

I honestly only decided to watch this show out of boredom. After the first episode I was hooked because the first season is light, coherent and well I love romance. The characters are not intellectual like it happens in so many French films. The show is for pure entertainment and those who love love stories.

However the second season is terrible! Everything happens in a hurry. The characters are beyond childish, selfish and senseless. It seemed like the writers had way too many ideas and didn't know how to put them together. The story doesn't make much sense. It's like those romantic comedies where everything happens in 24 hours. I was very disappointed with the second season. Gladly there a happy ending so I believe there won't be another season. At least I hope so!

If you are bored and don't want to think much, go for it but if you are looking for something with content that might give you a new perspective, don't bother.

Jesus christ, those three women are toxic as hell, I didnt even feel sorry for them when bad things happened.

Elsa (Zita Hanrot) has just left her darling after discovering he has an affair. When she also uncovers that they will soon be married, it is then total depression. She completely loses her self-confidence and becomes a real wreck. Her two best friends are Émilie (Joséphine Draï) who is a stifling and irritating woman and Charlotte (Sabrina Ouazani) who is a hot and sexy woman despite her voice of Mike Tyson. These two friends will have the idea as wacky as ludicrous to hire Jules, a handsome man (Marc Ruchmann) who will play the role of a male prostitute (this is actually his everyday job) without Elsa being aware of the trickery, so that she may regain confidence in herself. And what was to happen ... will happen!

It's invigorating and well played, especially with Zita Hanrot who is excellent, as usual. If you liked her in this role as depressive as irresistible, I recommend you one of her first films Fatima (2015) and one of her last La Vie scolaire (2019) that I already saw early July, in preview. In addition, Paris is well highlighted, between the Hôtel de ville and the Île Saint-Louis.
