The Attaché

First problem with this series: The bait-and-switch prologue. It was a cheap exploitation of real tragedy to tout this soap opera as related in any way to Parisian terrorist attacks. It is about truly privileged brats who seemingly have no concept of that privilege.

The episodes themselves are an annoying chronic toothache of family bickering and bad parenting. The artistic director should be applauded as offering the only relief by showing us the nicer parts of Parisian life and culture. I did, however, flinch when one shot showed the destroyed Notre Dame in the background. A sad reminder of the hard facts of attacks on Parisian heritage.

I eagerly watch Israeli and French productions as a respite from the glut of American trash on various streaming platforms. The poor substance of this production was a shocker. To add insult to injury, it was peppered with politically correct claptrap.

First of all, this story could never be made by a US network. That is part of its charm. It's a relationship show that feels realistic, and difficult.

At its heart it's the story of a marriage between two flawed people. A wife who makes decisions without consulting the husband; a husband who fails to adjust to life in a new country.

It is also informed by the background of terrorist attacks in Paris.

My wife and I watched this together and we hope there will be a second season.

This seems to be some type of vanity project! The plot is lame, the acting is beyond awful, and the story totally pointless. Streaming rubbish like this really does reputable streaming sites no favors at all. All it does is to help lower their reputation. One can only wonder if they actually paid for this series, or if the producers of the series paid the site to stream it. Either way, it does no one any favors, least of all viewers who try to watch it and who perhaps waste a few hours of time watching before recognizing how bad it really is! Israeli productions are usually good, this one belongs in the nearest dumpster!

Loved this series!! Want the music. I love the reality of their relationship and the family interactions and real issues of prejudice. Was. Humorous at times and very human.

The hubby is lame, the kid is grotesque and the wife doesn't know what she wants. She slaps hubby in one episode and you think "Yay! She's finally realised she's married to an idiot". But no... He stays the same directionless loser with an unhealthy relationship with the freaky kid and she doesn't know if she's coming or going. The only saving grace are the supporting cast. Wife's boss, Ofra, the crazy French teacher, Natalie, and the parents of the main couple.
