Escort Boys

First of all the environs are fabulous. At first glance it could be Australia or the USA but is actually set in France so the whole feel of the programme is different and all the better for it. I'm 2 episodes in and have already laughed a lot out loud but it also does pathos with one of the characters having a hard time with his life. Gorgeous actors also helps and again as it's not Hollywood, the faces of the actors take you to France. It's themes are not original but it is far more complex than the seminal movie shot in Sheffield. It will to interesting to see where this goes storywise and hopefully some of the female characters will have their stories expanded.

This is a brilliant series! It's simply genius and the actors are excellent and very beautiful! There are many twists to the story which are thought provoking. I often found myself laughing then crying, then laughing again. It's beautifully written and directed. It also makes you dream about the Camargue, as you can often see its fabulous landscape. I also love how the show conveys a sense of equality between men and women. It is very sexy and features some very saucy and hot scenes, but it's never vulgar. Watch this series... I'm sure most viewers will love it! An additional note: the British voice of Ben/Lupin is provided by an actor named Chris Anderson.

There are a wide range of heartfelt emotions in this season 1 series. Ben's father has died, and his mother earlier, so he returns to the family farm, which raises honey from their bees. Left is his sister, Charly, who is 17 and needs to show a stable family life to remain there. The farm is on the verge of total default, with no money, and the bank ready to possess everything. Ben has good friends Ludo, Zak and Mathias. Mathias has a way with women and earns good money. Since honey cannot pay enough of the bills, they decide to try an escort service, and Charly acts as the business manager. It is done with a lot of humor and also a learning curve for them, as they are beholden to the desires of the woman who hire them. One of the subplots is that Ben is still madly in love with Romane, who has since married Chef Pierre Morand, and thinks he can still win her back. And how Ludo, being married to Nora, got an entire change in his marriage through his work. Nora became almost glowing. This series should elicit a lot of smiles from the viewer.

First of all, wow! The men in this are very beautiful. The series uses this to full potential and there are some seriously sexy scenes. It beautifully produced and shot, with plenty of glorious scenes of the Camargue in the South of France. But this is far far from what this series is about. It is actually very funny, sweet and heartwarming; with family, relationships and how to survive in a very rural economy at its heart. Feminism and sexual equality play a huge part and it really asks questions about what people want from life and what mutual respect is.

Definitely give it a go, because it is fun and sexy, but also intelligent and makes you think.

Given people's reactions towards the Gerard Depardieu case in France, it shouldn't be surprising that in a comedy (written mostly by men), women can only be bitter, angry/entitled, angry/feminist or angelical, like the little sister.

I've only watched the first two episodes and I have enjoyed them, but the casual misoginy of the script throws me off. In the first episode you have a mom telling her daughter that by being independent and sure of herself, she scares men off, that she needs to tone it down, leave the extrems (of course by getting laid).

The second episode shows the angry, annoying wife wanting to hook up with someone other than her husband and an empowered woman who doesn't shut up, doesn't know what she wants and only finds pleasure when she's tricked into thinking she decided how the man had to take her.

Did we really need those characterizations? I don't think they add anything to the plot, but at least they let me see where the creator stands on this subject matter.
