Many American viewers are rushing to condemn this series. One reviewer even admitted that she only watched one episode. Looking for immediate satisfaction from art is about the most typical American response one can imagine and quite ironic since the whole conceit of Huge in France has to do with a take-down of the shallow, emptiness of fame, in general, and of an American, specifically, an LA version of fame worship, in particular. Admittedly, the show does try too hard in some instances and the many annoying, unlikeable characters are just too one-dimensional, broad and vulgar to connect with the audience, but there are, nonetheless, some really funny moments in Huge and the actor playing the stepfather Jason does an excellent job of portraying an emotionally hollowed out model/actor, who somehow still manages to be the most engaging and sympathetic character of all.
