Call My Agent Bollywood (2021– )

This show will serve as a blueprint on how to not adapt something.

[2/10 · 30 October 2021]

I am a massive fan of the original french series. It has heart, emotions and comedy all packaged together in a nice, easy to digest show that doesn't demand you to pay a lot of attention. This adaptation, however, seems to be a massive oversight on the part of the writers. The script is incredibly shallow and lack any sort of depth. The dialogue are trite. The shift in tone from the original series is surprising, I go even as far as to say that it feels like an afterthought. The attempts to include the typical bollywood tropes seems really hacky and to no one's surprise extremely unfunny and vapid. The performances weren't as bad as the script but not good enough the save this disaster.
