Call My Agent! (2015-20)
(Dix pour cent)
Country: FR
Technical: col/1.78:1 TV series (3 seasons: 24x52m)
Director: Fanny Herrero
Cast: Camille Cottin, Thibault de Montalembert, Grégory Montel, Liliane Rovère, Laure Calamy, Fanny Sidney
Synopsis:
Staff at the prestigious ASK talent agency in Paris lose their figurehead and descend into unproductive jealousy and competition for lucrative contracts.
Review:
The gimmick of this comedy drama, which hails from the Sièges d'orchestre school of film-making, was for each episode to feature a real-life figure from the entertainment business (French, of course). As such it became a highly successful piece of cultural propaganda internationally. Unfortunately, while the first season's episodes were essentially sitcoms enlivened with a bit of star-gazing, the later ones became mired in political infighting and the increasingly unhinged duplicity of the main characters.
