First of all Xanadu is a very classic family drama about a dominant patriarch and children who want to change things. The difference is that Xanadu is set in the porn business. The character devlopment is really interesting: the more people get involved in a business that buys and sells people as commodities the more they are dehumanized. It is remarkable that back in 2010 the series also touched upon tghe issue of violence during the production of porn movies. This is actually a hige scandal in France right now with many pornographers being sent to prison. Xanadu has a sinister subplot about the disappreance of a porn star. Within this rather dark story there are also some hilaruously funny moments.
