I'm totally perplexed by all the bad reviews. This is one of my favorite shows. If you're expecting it to be based on reality then you just aren't getting it. It's supposed to be ridiculous and over the top, and it's supposed to be a dramatic, funny train wreck. When I watched the first season my husband just being in the room got totally sucked into it. He thinks it's brilliant and his family is part French. He's also a writer by profession and we both agree it's amazing how much story they can tell in 30 mins when so many shows can go an hour or more and not move the story along at all. If you want something fun, witty and a bit crazy this will hit the spot.
For those that find offense in this show that's meant to be ridiculous means you're taking life way too seriously and you might need to chill out a bit. If it's not your kind of humor, fine move on, but don't go knocking it and ruining it for all those that find the joy in it because it's not based in strict reality for you. You should probably avoid Fantasy, Sci-fi, ROM-com, adventure or things like Telenovelas too at the very least, I'm sure there's more.
There's very few lighthearted shows that are just fun to watch, this is one of them. And I really hope it gets at least one more season to close out the storyline.
