Huge in France - Season 1
The French comedian begins a new experiment by moving to Los Angeles to re-establish contact with his son. Gad discovers that he has left everything behind him, including the fame and privileges he possessed. On the other hand, Jad calls his old friend Jerry Seinfeld in order to prove Chris Delia that Dick's jokes are not funny. Meanwhile, Jason's problems seem to be moving from bad to worse during that period.

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.

At first it might be easy to mistake Huge In France for a gallic exercise in melancholy, but the whimsical Mediterranean-folky score reminds us that this is, in fact a comedy, of the fish-out-of water variety.

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.
