Agree. I fell asleep.

You’re not. It’s on the same level as Dawson’s creek.

+1 nothing like that, and each episode is a show, they don’t overlap.

*sigh* I really tried and failed to finish Ep1 twice. You're right - super boring. WTF did they think we'd want to watching a boring dramedy of the most boring descendants? This is pitiful.

These are like extended episodes of "Love American Style"

1. Love and the Muslim Housekeeper
2. Love and Jury Duty/Love on Board

I feel like putting my fingers in front of my face like I did when I was a kid and screeching "Oh no are they doing it?"

SPOILERS I have watched 2 episodes and its enjoyable but not nearly on par with his other work. Because each is a stand alone, its hard to get invested or that interested in any of the characters. I thought the first one was good but then went off the rails with the pregnancy bit-totally unrealistic that this devout muslim girl is going to sleep with some guy she doesnt even know one dinner.

They definitely have the feel of short stories and don't build to much. Novels often feel really condensed in movie format, so 90 minutes probably is the right amount of time to tell a short story.

Why?

because he's bald himself.

I watched both episodes last evening. I honestly can't decide what I think. I found them really engaging at the time and yet I'm left with the feeling that I wasted my time. I think I much prefer shows that build
from week to week with the same cast.

I liked Ep 1, found Ep 2 boring. Will give it another try

It is really well done but exquisitely boring.

Anyone watching? It's very entertaining and I love all the historic tidbits plus seeing Paris.
