So I figured being home sick was the right time to watch Párizsi élet. And - welp, now I've seen it. And my levels of bafflement are SO HIGH RIGHT NOW. SO MUCH BAFFLEMENT.

Like, I can manage to figure out that there are a lot of sex jokes? and also that the characters are pretty drunk for at least a couple of the major scenes? But other than that I am just a lot of ????

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when you watch a show when you don't know the language and don't have subs and don't even know the plot. So. Um. I really liked the scenes Bobinet and Gardefeu were in together! They were super adorable dorks around each other. But that was a relatively small percentage of the running time, and I couldn't tell ANY OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS APART FROM EACH OTHER. (well, except Alphonse)

So! I am willing to bet that if you have even a little bit more of a clue than me then this is a great show, but as it is.... I think I'll just go reread the one extant fic for this production, which is charming and adorable and great and comprehensible
