Escort Boys

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.

First of all, wow! The men in this are very beautiful. The series uses this to full potential and there are some seriously sexy scenes. It beautifully produced and shot, with plenty of glorious scenes of the Camargue in the South of France. But this is far far from what this series is about. It is actually very funny, sweet and heartwarming; with family, relationships and how to survive in a very rural economy at its heart. Feminism and sexual equality play a huge part and it really asks questions about what people want from life and what mutual respect is.

Definitely give it a go, because it is fun and sexy, but also intelligent and makes you think.

Blown away by this gem of a show I stumbled upon today. The cinematography is exquisite. The locations used for filming are absolutely beautiful. The whole thing just flowed effortlessly from one scene to another. Such an unique idea for a TV show. The actors playing the escorts are fabulous. The supporting cast are fantastic. It is a very sexy drama, beautifully done, with some very funny moments thrown in. The writing is superb, you really warm to these characters. I found myself completely absorbed in the story, couldn't wait for the next episode. One of the best series I have ever watched.

Set in beautiful Camargue, France, the series develops through funny and sexy incidents; something light, entertaining but thought-provoking at the same time, which I didn't really expected before watching. Moving at times, you can enjoy, apart from the beauty of the cast, splendid landscapes and a very good soundtrack: I really liked "Una furtiva lagrima" at the end of the last episode. You could also find interesting and pleasant the participation of famous actresses such as Carole Bouquet and timeless, amazing Rossi De Palma and Amanda Lear. You should definitely give it a go! You will not regret it!

What I mean by the title is that at last there's a comedy drama that has convincing drama as well as comedic aspects that had me laughing out loud at times. I wish the series had had more than six episodes! I was enjoying myself.

The four lads are all hunks and believable as gigolos. They each had distinct personalities and attributes. A nice touch in the series was that their characters actually developed over the episodes. I'm dying to find out if young Zak accepted his final client. I also want to find out how the machinations of wicked Olga Sakiris impinge on the family business and on the relationships between the protagonists. I'm sure we'll find out as it looks certain a second season is on the way.

One duff note is the role played by Charly. I don't think a seventeen year old would have the sophistication to run a business or deal with its admin. That's minor though.

I just hope season two isn't too far away.
