Fiasco

Genuinely I expected better from this show and all the works of these actors cause I appreciate all of them but I'm little disappointed from the project cause I expected a great kidding to show but it was not really that...

First to all the main story and the pitch it's very good it was very good draft but throughout the show the jokes was mostly very bad and not enough kidding even sometimes very heavy to watch, yet these all actors who are the creators of this show used to do a very good projects like " Five " available on Netflix cause it's very good movie and same actors to do this project and I think so the tv show it will be great and I thought very better than the movie of " Five " well ... not, it's was vey less good cause not enough moments kidding so bad ....

Even if a few moments was very kidding some scenes was very crazy and very good that I re-watched a lot of times but it was just a few unfortunately...

The cast that I love disappointed me a lot, their acting was bad and even I mean their acting was sometimes overplayed very so bad !!!

The directing by the way was very good very stand out with good shots !

The ending was good and some moments the script was different that we used to do very stand out script but bad jokes very great point from the movie with acting ...

I hope so that they will be great for a next project like that cause they are all talented !

I have never laughed this much in a while, especially watching a movie/tv show. I had hysterical laughter that I couldn't stop multiple times.

However, this is because of the French jokes and references that only a French would understand, due to the language puns, or culture references.

If you're looking for this show and you're not French or at least B1/B2 learning French or are living/have lived in France, this show is not funny and must feel stupid. The point of this show is not the plot, as the story keeps changing to match the jokes.

The number of jokes happening in the series is just absurd and never ending, with puns every min. If you're looking for something light and not too focused, just to entertain yourself, I'd advise watching it.

If you like awkward low quality humour, you may like it (not even sure...)

Watched only the first episode, but I won't go any further.

To be funny, a little bit of plausibility is needed...there is none in those characters (who does that seriously? ) I'm not sure what else to say, boring maybe?

Considering there are several trendy French actors in the casting (the rising stars of last years), it's surprising to as such a poor result, we could expect much more!!

So as a conclusion : not recommended.

Hehe maybe the title should have been a hint? (be warned : this poor joke is more funny than episode 1).

A French farce on the machinations of movie making, with a behind-the-scenes crew capturing first time director, Raphaël (Pierre Niney in top form), making a mess of it all in so many funny ways, as it deals with every possible anxiety riddled fiasco that could (and does) go dreadfully wrong on the making of a film.

Every movie making department is not safe. From an out of touch idiotic producer, to the bad breath of a make-up artist. Most importantly are the egotistic actors (even worse, method actors!) who have a field day in hamming up their roles. If you are familiar with the workings of a film crew, you will laugh yourself silly, but most of all, you will cringe with pure delight as this absurdist farce takes it all the way...

I watched two episodes of this series, hoping it would improve but unfortunately, it just got sillier. It seemed funny from the trailer, about a shy, first-time director making his first movie, and everything escalating into a huge disaster, but the cast is too big, and none of the characters is more than a stereotype (the director in love with the female movie star, the pretentious actor, the stupid producer, etc...) and the chances for laughter are few and far between.

The character of Raphael is just unbelievable, nobody that weak would have the drive and perseverance to get the financing for his movie, and the plot about his grandmother seems predictably silly and not something that would get financed.

I also found the "mockumentary" style particularly grating, with the invasive presence of one or more cameramen filming everything on the sly and the constant use of social media.
