If you’re missing Paris as much as we are, this stylish and relatable French drama will fit the bill.
Within the “microsociety” of the Paris Opera Ballet, housed in the beautiful Palais Garnier, also known as L’Opéra, are our three protagonists: 35-year-old principal dancer Zoé (Ariane Labed, Trigonometry), up-and-coming 19-year-old Flora (Suzy Bemba) and relatively young (at 38) new Director of Dance, Sébastien (Raphaël Personnaz). Zoe’s fast lifestyle has caught up with her as she fights to maintain her place in the company, while Black dancer Flora is desperate to confirm her spot. Sébastien is keen to throw off the coat of tradition and take the Paris Opera Ballet to the top of modern international ballet.
With showrunner Cecile Ducrocq of The Bureau and Call My Agent pedigree, put this drama at the top of your watchlist.
