This is exactly the snappy, smart comedy/drama that Emily in Paris strives to be, but is let down by its poor writing. I speak French and come from a French background, so I probably enjoyed Call My Agent more than some viewers. There are inside cultural references, not to mention the fast dialogue, that only register if you have some familiarity with French work and home life. The reason I gave it nine rather than 10 stars was that the show was running out of ideas by S4, and some of the characters had become annoying, Gabriel, Sophie and Colette in particular. Conversely, Hicham was fascinating and the tension between him and Andrea was delicious. Jean Reno was absolutely wonderful, and I was happy to see older French female stars get attention. I'll be interested to see what happens with the movie.
