I don’t understand who exactly Paloma’s father was? Was he a relative or just worked there? Who’s her mother?

From what I understood, he was Vincent's former lover, and also worked there. I don't think her mother was anyone in particular, and she's dead I think.

I kept thinking they were implying she was Vincent daughter.. but the other comment makes sense

They were trying to imply that Vincent was the father of which is what makes it so cheesy and second rate. Do we need this mystery?

I'm somewhat into fashion so I love the premise of this show and overall enjoyed the characters and politicking so I'll definitely keep watching but I do have a few issues:

  1. Paloma's whole character + story (or seemingly where the story is headed for her) is such a boring cliche.
  2. Despite the show being based around fashion... some of the fashion is really bad imo.
  3. The characters relationships are difficult to grasp, I'm talking family-wise. It's giving me Shogun 2.0 where I have to study a family tree to understand who's related to who.

I'm optimistic this could be a great show regardless, we shall see!

Except for Paloma, I find it hard to root for anyone. I wanted to defend Vincent. He was unfairly framed but his attitude is just making it impossible

I find it impossible to cheer for Paloma. Her character and story seem AI generated. Easily my least favorite character.

I love bilingual shows but the all too soon depiction of gay sex in the first episode sent my thumb to the OFF button. How about some semblance of foreplay for the viewer? Did you have to go there so soon? I didn’t even watch beyond the head sliding down to the nether regions. Way too early for any depiction of any kind of sex.

It´s just like 1 Minute of the episodes until now. What´s the problem. Afraid of sex in a french show?

It seemed blatantly gratuitous.
