Funny for Adults But Raunchy

Entertaining and frequently funny show only for adults. It does contain a fair amount of sexual innuendo and nudity: promiscuity, an extra-marital affair, a threesome, female full frontal nudity (shown during a lengthy period where a couple is in bed together, it also happens to contain an important plot point...later the same character doesn't like her dress so she pulls it off in the middle of Paris and is sans underwear...comes out of nowhere and totally unnecessary), things happening under the blankets with two women, a lesbian is about to have sex but her vibrator is out of batteries; F-words abound in the subtitles. This is France, so there's plenty of smoking too.

This title has:

Too much sex
Too much swearing
Too much drinking/drugs/smoking

What's the Story?

Dix Pour Cent (a.k.a. CALL MY AGENT!) is a French television series about the inner workings of a group of competitive celebrity agents. Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin), Mathias Barneville (Thibault de Montalembert), Gabriel Sarda (Grégory Mantel), and Arlette Azémar (Liliane Rovere) are partners at the Agence Samuel Kerr, or ASK, where they do everything they can to please their top celebrity clients, negotiate with film producers, and secure lucrative contracts. Helping them along is Gabriel's amusing assistant Hervé André-Jezak (Nicolas Maury), Mathias' catty assistant Noémic Leclert (Laure Calamy), and Andrea's new assistant Camille Valentini (Fanny Sidney). Each partner has a different way of doing things, and their personal lives often collide with their work. But when Kerr suddenly dies, the partners have to figure out how to keep ASK, and their clients, from falling apart.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (2 ):

This well-written dramatic comedy, which is subtitled in English, offers lots of fun moments, interesting relationships, and poignant moments that have universal appeal. What also makes the series entertaining is the appearance of celebrities playing her/him/their self in every episode. This includes a few celebs that Stateside viewers will recognize, like Sigourney Weaver and Juliette Binoche.

As the series progresses, there are a few cast changes, including the arrival new partner Hicham Janowski (Assaad Buab), and new storylines. But tensions are always high in the non-stop world of entertainment, and the partners and their staff often don't think twice about outsmarting each other as they vie for clients. At ASK there's never a dull moment, which is what makes Call My Agent! so entertaining.
