Appelez mon agent: Bollywood

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.

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!

If you look closely you can clearly see a pattern in these fake 9-10 rating reviews.

Mostly are 1 paragraph. Taking about one of the actor in one line. Then tagging @netflix india. Without going in any sort of details. For genuine reviews sort the reviews by date and look for the oldest reviews posted here.

This show will never be close to the original French one. Actors are so overacting and so much dramas. Its like watching one of those hindi TV serials all over again. Expected much more standards for shows from Netflix. Its clearly showing bollywood is losing all the good acting shows and stories and even good actors.
