You need to watch Call My Agent to know the truth about Parisian style
Call My Agent, the joyously barbed French series set in an A-list talent agency a croissant’s throw from the Rue de Rivoli, returned on Thursday on Netflix for its fourth and final outing.One of the many pleasures of the first and arguably only French comedy‑drama TV show to go global is that it offers an insider’s view, not just of showbusiness, but of Paris and la vie Parisienne, about which there are probably as many myths as there about the entertainment industry.Like Extras, Ricky Gervais’s 2005 hit sitcom, Call My Agent features a team of jobbing French actors plus a sprinkling of big French stars playing and sending themselves up.
