Members sheilaforever Posted July 11, 2010 Members Share Posted July 11, 2010 I think I once caught pieces of it on "TV 5 Monde". It's really down to earth aka. boring. They do capture Marseille nicely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 13, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 13, 2010 You two are terrible. If for example only the set design is fabulous, it is reason enough. To watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Why does it annoy you so much? Now I'm intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 Storylines are so over the top. They don't have a week without a murder and it is supposed to be happening in a nice district of Marseille. It is so unrealistic. For most part, actors are very very bad. Scripts are laughable. What I hate most is probably the way France 3 tries to promote it because they are so proud of their soap, in the same way JFP did at the Emmys: 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, etc. Hello guys, soaps have been existing for 60 years Their attempt at doing comedy is so poor. I'm really ashamed it is the only soap France is able to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 wow - I must have caught their most boring week ever then. Maybe I give it another try... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 So, sheils, you really like France Télévisions? But much of those same things plague the American soaps, too. Do you have any home-made primetime shows? What's popular there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 No we don't really have good primetime shows like in the US. To give you an idea here is what airs in France these days: Tonight: TF1: "On a retrouvé la 7ème compagnie", 1960s' movie France 2: "La soirée inattendue", entertainment (a French star is given many surprised) France 3: "Comissaire Brunetti", Italian detective series Arte: "Les caprices d'un fleuve", movie M6: "Bones", American TV series Wednesday: TF1: "Criminal Minds", American TV series France 2: "Double enquête", French TV movie France 3: "Mission Millenium", French adventure game Arte: "Histoire secrète de la Lufthansa", History M6: "Zone interdite", News magazine Indeed the first few months were really down to earth but soon the show became...weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 That's disappointing. How can such a gorgeous country with so many great writers who wrote high-class literary soaps (Balzac, Flaubert, Proust...) not have good or great soaps/primetime shows?

Members FrenchFan Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 I so much agree. There was a very good primetime series, "Avocats et Associés" that ran from 1998 to 2009. It was about some lawyers: the cases were so great, the romantic estranglements very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 I don't really like cop shows, but is Engrenages any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted July 20, 2010 Members Share Posted July 20, 2010 How do you watch all these foreign shows? Are you a multiple language speaking guy? (I know there's a word for it, it just so happens to not be in my vocabulary at the moment.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
