While I get that fooling around with neighbors, rescuing one's mother from moral decay, and a hunt for a rat can all be a part of the story, I was hoping for more development on the professional level. Things were supposed to be happening at the agency, but due to the aforementioned distractions, there was no time for that. / Lesson learned: Want to have fun? Leave the key in the door on the inside.

The plot felt a bit awkward this time around, there was too much emphasis on Instagram for my liking, and the humor seemed to be lacking. Not even the Eiffel Tower could save it. / Lesson learned: If people at work throw obstacles your way, throw them right back.

In the tenth episode, pretty much everything revolved around the agency and had a significant impact on the main storyline. Despite this, I couldn't give the episode five stars. There was just something that didn't quite click for me. I can't put my finger on whether it was the business trip to Los Angeles or Donovan getting high again that threw it off, but something did disrupt the overall flow. / Lesson learned: Don't get stoned if you plan on swimming. Or better yet, don't swim when you're high.

Every episode so far has maintained a sense of lightness, humor, and pace, all while driving the story forward. Now, all I can do is enjoy the ride and eagerly anticipate what's to come. / Lesson learned: Be cautious. You never know what you might be stepping into.

I found myself really enjoying the third episode, which brought a sense of nostalgia because it reminded me of a time when the American puritanical approach hadn't yet infected Europe. / Lesson learned: Reactionary and obscurantist attitudes always win.

Oh well, this was another one of those relationship-centric episodes. They're not bad at all; they're well-written and enjoyable to watch. But, they contribute almost nothing to the main storyline. That's what bothers me a bit. I'm not too thrilled when the focus completely shifts away from the agency, especially since it's where the most interesting events tend to happen. / Lesson learned: What happens at summer camp, stays at summer camp.

The creators injected a larger dose of humor into this episode, so I enjoyed it more than the first one. Even though I'm not exactly the target audience, I'm having a good time watching this series for girls who like Instagram, so the creators must be doing something right. / Lesson learned: Paris is the city of love; you won't find a better place to end a relationship.

I'd say the word 'weird' describes this episode quite well. Reminds me of a joke: A guy goes out onto his balcony, lights up a joint, takes a puff, and thinks to himself, 'That's odd. I'm not getting high.' Suddenly, there's a loud noise, and a fiery ball streaks across the sky. The guy jumps, and as he starts to calm down, he hears another loud roar and there goes another fiery ball. Now he's shaking, hiding behind the railing, too scared to move. Then, another roar and another fiery ball. Trembling, he stays put, and then he hears his wife's voice from inside, 'Honey, are you alright? You've been out on that balcony for three days!' That pretty much sums up this episode for me. / Lesson learned: Leave the door unlocked at night; family might pay a surprise visit.

When an anxious factory owner falls and an equally anxious recluse fall in love, it makes for a really funny premise. And the French, being masters of romance, know that love often involves food, so there's plenty of chocolate tasting in this film. And who doesn't love chocolate? I found myself entertained by the eccentric characters, and despite the chocolate factory setting, the film didn't feel overly sweet. Instead, it was charmingly human with a subtle sense of humor that I appreciated. / Lesson learned: Feeling stressed? Wear a jabot.

Revisiting Lucy after all these years, I found myself still enjoying it. Scarlett Johansson's presence on screen is never unwelcome. The story was simple yet engaging, with a good sense of pace and humor. Even though I have my own opinions on various scientific and pseudo-scientific concepts, when Morgan Freeman delivers them, I'm more than willing to suspend disbelief for a moment. The film was classic Besson: packed with action, Asian gangsters, and impressive special effects. The whole spectacle kept me entertained. What got me was how I could switch off my brain while watching a movie about maximizing brain capacity. / Lesson learned: If you have any say in it, never let anyone stitch anything inside your body. Not more than three cigarettes under the skin in case of a shipwreck.
