Title: Call My Agent
Review: I had seen this show around and ignored if for years as fluff, but it was highly recommended to me by my dear find and literary/TV bon vivant, Deb Hodges, who needs this stuff living in the wilds of northern Michigan during the winter. THANK YOU, Deb-O-Rah…..this show is magnificent. Premier film and music agency in Paris handles the trials and tribulations of all kinds of celebrity whack-jobs, who are unbelievably and cheerfully presented by an extraordinary array of famed French actors charmingly making fun of their celebrity: think Isabelle Hubert, Jean Reno, Isabelle Adjani. The show is beautifully set in Paris and the ensemble cast is too good to be true. Maury is to die for as the hyper agent-assistant Herve. When we reached the last episode, we waited two weeks to watch it as we could not stand for it to end. Perfect blend of sensitive drama with knee buckling comedy. Good news is that after the final show aired, the uproar was so great it is coming back for a fifth season AND a feature film. You gotta check this one out.
