[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I quit it when it got around to masturbation - in the every first episode. Shame on you Netflix. I thought my young kids might enjoy the new series. I missed any warning there might have been.[/quote]

This annoyed me only because it was an otherwise simplistic show that would be appropriate for kids. To me, it came off like they threw in some adult themes in a ham-fisted attempt to level up a childish show. These elements seemed out of place against how silly everything else was, including the ridiculous stereotyping. They unnecessarily limited their audience, which, in light of the stereotyping, might be a good thing.  (I also knew nothing about the show or the show writers when I started it. I was not watching with a kid so it was fine.) Whoever described it as the bag of candy you don't really like, but eat out of boredom or desperation, was spot on. This show was my candy corn.

Agreed that it was weird to show that yet not show the sex scene with Gabriel. He must have a nudity clause.[/quote]

Only people who are used to sporting generic , creepy faux smiles  all day long think of the French as not super 'friendly'.  [/quote]

None of the servers I encountered in French restaurants or shops were friendly. It’s noticeable and comes off as unfriendly. Hence, the stereotype...[/quote]

I was braced for this and had the exact opposite experience in Paris (first time, I know maybe 15 French words that I learned for the trip)- we had conversations with a bunch of random people in cafes late afternoon etc. I found that the French for the most part are just going to mirror what you are giving.[/quote]
