Huge in France - Season 1
In a different comedy we live through that comedian, Jad, who is doing a different experiment in order to reconnect with his son. Jad, the French comedian, moves to Los Angeles to see his son and reconnect with him, but discovers that he has left all his fame and privileges. On the other hand, Gad burns while roaming, and walks away from his career in comedy in order to communicate with his son well.

Huge In France isn't a laugh riot, but it has an appealing mix of comedy and sincere emotion, and Gad Elmaleh is a compelling lead.

It's hard to square the chasm between the philosophical comedy the show begins as and the discomfiting farce it becomes.

Huge in France still isn't quite good enough to justify further investment in what is yet another real-comic-as-semi-dramatic-version-of-themselves series that's less Curb Your Enthusiasm and more Dice meets Really Rob.
