Brilliant Brainy French Comedy
29 May 2023
A stupendous fictional breathless trip into outer space and back to the 1970s with a brilliant cast and super intelligent writing - a French TV comedy series that I hope will carry forward for more episodes - the best series I've seen so far on MHZ. I loved the UFO (OVNI) staff and every setting rife with bygone phenomena like bulky computers, big plastic dial phones, VW vans, university geniuses, LSD, David Bowie, toy pianos, pony tails, pleated hair scarves and flamingos (real ones, not granny's lawn ornaments). Didier (Melvil Poupaud) is energetically flawless as the high-powered brainiac leading the effort to clear up mountains of dusty bureaucratic files at GEPAN regarding numerous unexplained sightings in and above the French countryside.
