Huge in France

This show is awesome. I love the fight of France vs. L.A. and am laughing out loud every episdode. I'm picky with comedy and this show deserves a higher rating.

As often with comedy, you either like or hate it - and i liked this series a lot! This series is about a comedian who is "HUGE" (very famous) in France, but outside of France nobody knows him.. I must admit i also only recognized his face (not his name) from some great French comedy classics such as "La Doublure" and "La Verite Si Je Mens!" The humor in this series is mainly 'black humor' , which is often misunderstood (according to some other reviews here no exception this time) so to set the record straight i decided to write this review ! "GAD" is absolutely not arrogant, but has a great dose of sarcasm and self-mockery here. The humor reminded me very much of Ricky Gervais (comedy god imo) - especially his "Life's Too Short" sitcom starring Warwick Davis. I'm convinced this series is much more fun for Europeans (i think many British People might love it) but is often misunderstood by American viewers ; Especially those who dont know there is a world outside the USA as well.. I'm not quickly amused with comedy, but this one was right on target!

I think it's really funny and quite original. I am actually really enjoying it.

I'm French so I guess I have a different view because I know who Gad is. He really is one of the most famous French speaking comedians and really makes big shows. It's funny because he makes fun of himself, of his own life with his kids (his first son really is a model) and also of Americans through his own vision. It is full of clichés on purpose and on both sides, which makes it interesting.

This show is sarcastic and dry, it's not meant to be a laugh out loud comedy so I'm not sure what people were expecting. It's a cute story, clever and enjoyable. The characters are very LA, very narcissistic so you really have to laugh at their absurdity, but I guess some people don't get that. I do and I think it's great. A fun show to binge.
