Call My Agent

I am a massive fan of the original french series. It has heart, emotions and comedy all packaged together in a nice, easy to digest show that doesn't demand you to pay a lot of attention. This adaptation, however, seems to be a massive oversight on the part of the writers. The script is incredibly shallow and lack any sort of depth. The dialogue are trite. The shift in tone from the original series is surprising, I go even as far as to say that it feels like an afterthought. The attempts to include the typical bollywood tropes seems really hacky and to no one's surprise extremely unfunny and vapid. The performances weren't as bad as the script but not good enough the save this disaster.

Do not watch this show. Watch the original, which is ALSO on Netflix. I watched till Ep.6, 'In the Dog House', and I finally broke the patience barrier to bear with this.

The original is Call My Agent (Dix Pour Cent), and it is so hilarious, so original and so nicely written that after the first 2 episodes you will be absolutely hooked !

Don't waste your time watching this, I already did that on your behalf. You are welcome.

Ruin the original's name. Bad adaptation, bad dialogues , bad acting and the most important very bad direction. You. Can Hardly watch 10 minutes. It's too dull and boring. Don't know how the director got the project to direct the remake of this renowned series.

Episode 1: the scene where the intern quits is possibly the worst acting I have ever seen on TV. Ever. It is unfortunate that this series could have been something meaningful.

Probably one of the worst series produced by Netflix?

Who is approving their Indian content?

I mean.. not engaging at all. The story, writing and the whole vibe is depressing!
