According to Anne C. (4.5/5):
“I’ve read all the negative reviews, but they are wrong and forgotten as soon as I read them, because what I expect from this type of series is to distract me and fill me with good humor. He’s perfect for that.”
According to Pauline Chambon (2.5/5):
“Before season 3, I found the series entertaining, even if there are obviously a lot of clichés and even if the plot is without big surprises. But, frankly, with the fourth season, I’m struggling. The love triangles and the disagreements between their characters are becoming more boring. , I can’t find the humor of previous seasons”.
Still as sour as my google reviews (1/5):
“I’m not going to stop at this series, which is really enjoyable only because of the most materialistic and retrograde fantasy, but which is relevant to our society today. I really regret shows like Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City or Malcolm, which every month in the series offered unique works with a budget well below the budget of Emily herself.”
why does it work
After an underwhelming first episode where the writers gave minimal service, they did a little better in the second half of season 4: new characters to revamp the love machine (Genevieve, Marcello), new romantic setting (Rome), new dynamic. Our hero emerging from a love triangle with Gabrielle and Camille… In short, these five new episodes reminded us why we loved Emily in Paris!

“What a wonder! Everything is great! The writing, so useful and so effective, brilliant direction and this acting! Nothing to complain about! Nicole Kidman plays a character that fits her, Liev Schreiber is incredibly deep! What a pleasure to see Dakota Fanning again, special mention to the director who He knows how to manage his actors and his camera perfectly.
According to Francois G (4.5/5):
“The atmosphere of this series is reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s novels without Hercule Poirot. Indeed, the investigators here are ordinary policemen who do their job effectively without compromising on the difference of social classes.
The actors are all great. Nicole Kidman is perfect. Except for Isabel Ajani, who does not appear as a foil in this performance. A rather poignant social portrait of these rich heiresses without any merit, shot without complacency.”
According to messeda samir (3.5/5):
“The series is not bad, even if we expected better from the casting. It’s still good because the story is well-crafted. Then there’s light entertainment that doesn’t delve deep enough into the characters, who are still complex. Ajani’s role left me a bit confused… maybe It’s his worst role, and it makes me sad: how can such an actor be lacking.”
why does it work

According to Caro (5/5):
“So I have to say that 5 stars are for the first two seasons! I have never been so addicted to a TV series! It’s a shame that the producers wanted to use Ven as much as possible. I still watched the last 3 seasons, but I was disappointed. “
According to stallonefan62 (4/5):
“The fifth and final season of Michael and his entire gang of misadventures!! The resurrection that is so far away, we really don’t know how he survived the electrocution!! Quite a short season, still an enjoyable story, despite the many inconsistencies and major plot twists, but the characters always remain attractive !!”
According to F. Mulder (2/5):
“Season 5, for my part, reminds me more of a bad remake of 24 Hours with the characters from Prison Break… a season that doesn’t really matter, except for the enjoyment of seeing the characters of the series. And then. , episode 9, for me, is a season for the sake of a season, completely flawed !”
why does it work

Number 4: On the ground
Stephen Ble had a tumultuous start to his mandate, amid death threats, demonstrations, international blunders and betrayals.
Viewer rating: 3.4/5
Should I look at it? (4/5):
“As in the first season, the humor remains as funny as ever, even if the surprise effect is no longer there. Each episode brings its share of new challenges, and it’s fun to watch Jean-Pascal Zad swim in this presidential suit.
Especially since he has no help, between his broken allies and his enemies who want his skin. Benoit Poelvorde and Jean-Claude Mouaka excel in secondary roles. There are even funny appearances, especially from Raphael Couinard and Farr. With humor, the series continues to show the dark scenes of political power.”
According to Kev Zhou (5/5):
“I recommend a very good series. Behind the series there are political ideas that are always invisible or that we never discuss on TV or in real life, especially on vacant houses, or even on taxes, Pierre Emmanuel Barre, Eric Judor. Especially always with them, we have a good laugh.”
According to Gerard Stevenson (2.5/5):
“The first season is appreciated for its plot, humor, interpretation (especially Eric Judor). Unfortunately, the second season spoils everything with its political aspects, its communitarianism with so many preconceived ideas that it becomes counterproductive, ridiculous.
why does it work
Jean-Pascal Zade became one of the important faces of the French comedy scene after the success of Tout just noir. He developed new atypical projects, combining his own humor with his ever-present personal reflections. And he proves it with his series En place, a quirky political comedy that makes fun of everything and which brings together a great cast, including the brilliant Alain Chabat in the second season.
Number 5: Chaos
As discord rages on Mount Olympus and the almighty Zeus descends into paranoia, three mortals are destined to redefine the future of mankind.
Viewer rating: 3.6/5
According to Marion Bogaert (5/5):
“The series immerses us in the world of Greek mythology with the myth of Orpheus, who descends into hell to restore his beloved. As a former Hellenist and quite a fan of “historical” reality in general, I am pleasantly surprised by the rendering.
Indeed, they managed to combine modernity and some consistency with the original story. We find almost the entire Greek pantheon, as well as other myths, all in good humor, I recommend it. “
According to Daniel Michel (5/5):
“Really fun to watch. For those who want to watch an entertaining and completely hilarious series, enjoy.”
According to Mohs root (3.5/5):
“If you like completely crazy fantasy series, you will love this, funny, completely entertaining, can’t wait to see what happens next.”
why does it work
Jeff Goldblum, Jeff Goldblum and Jeff Goldblum. The star actor, adored by Netflix subscribers, lends his features to a never-before-seen Zeus in this satirical comedy that pokes fun at the world of Greek mythology. Kaos is the work of Charlie Covell (The End of the F***ing World), the lines come out at full speed and most of the time they hit the mark!
