First problem with this series: The bait-and-switch prologue. It was a cheap exploitation of real tragedy to tout this soap opera as related in any way to Parisian terrorist attacks. It is about truly privileged brats who seemingly have no concept of that privilege.
The episodes themselves are an annoying chronic toothache of family bickering and bad parenting. The artistic director should be applauded as offering the only relief by showing us the nicer parts of Parisian life and culture. I did, however, flinch when one shot showed the destroyed Notre Dame in the background. A sad reminder of the hard facts of attacks on Parisian heritage.
I eagerly watch Israeli and French productions as a respite from the glut of American trash on various streaming platforms. The poor substance of this production was a shocker. To add insult to injury, it was peppered with politically correct claptrap.
