Au Service de la France plot

1960. French intelligence hires 23-year-old André Merlaux. He is handsome, intelligent but also easy to influence. Merlaux still has much to learn to serve his country and defend France's interests. Three officials have to train him adequately to perform delicate and sometimes bizarre operations. However, Merlaux still has a long way to go to become an agent like 007.

Au Service de la France season 1

Absurdistic in a light-hearted way. The degree of self-mockery on one's own France is wonderful, just like how the bureaucratic (all those forms and stamps) is ridiculed. That is by far the strongest of the series and makes it very nice to watch. Every character has its crazy traits. Enough understated subtle hilarity.
Where the Colonel tries to block her daughter's relationship with Andre is a lot less interesting.
This first season is definitely stronger than the second, which tries to be a lot more serious in nature and just misses the point.

Au Service de la France season 1

A very comical series about the time when France was still something. At least, that's what the characters in this series would probably mutter if they looked back to those swinging sixties in their retirement home at the end of the twentieth century. In any case, there is no country like France that can be so damning about its own history and at the same time underline with a sneaky pride all of that romantic, stylish and intellectual country that we peasant Lowlanders can so hungrily yearn for. Au de La France hilariously shows the absurdity of the most authoritarian state in the Free World.
