10 Foreign-Language Netflix Series You Need To Watch

Known as Dix Pour Cent (10 per cent) in France, Call My Agent! follows the trials and tribulations of workers at a big Parisian talent agency as they attempt to satisfy the needs of their famous clients while dealing with all sorts of unexpected problems and situations. The show includes many real-world celebrities like Christopher Lambert and Cécile de France, but keeps the focus on the agents themselves, highlighting the difficulty and unpredictable nature of their job.

The show provides a perfect blend of laugh-out-loud moments and genuinely thought-provoking drama, giving us a look behind the curtain of the lives of the rich and famous, and the people who look after them. The real stars tend to play slightly exaggerated versions of themselves in some cases, but it never feels cheap or over-the-top, with Call My Agent! managing to stay relatively grounded from start to finish.

All four of the featured agents in the show are well-developed and generally likeable in their own special ways, and the writers manage to concoct some intriguing scenarios for each episode, peppered with amusing moments and pithy plotlines that have drawn plenty of acclaim from real-life show business experts and agents.
