Comedy

Written by and starring Judith Siboni and Olivia Côte, the pair play various female characters from different French socio-cultural backgrounds - BCBG mother, bachelorette, nymphomaniac lawyer, stressed office worker, consumer think tank - usually urban, aged between 25 and 35. These women are portrayed in ordinary situations that quickly turn absurd and comical.[1] The show's website writes that "the series shows the paradox of modern women in undermining the image of the sexy, romantic and perfect."[1]

After the show found success, French celebrities began to make cameo appearances in the show, including Mélanie Laurent, Alexandre Astier, Miou-Miou, and Pierre Richard.[2]
