Just perfect...

Absolutely Brilliant!

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This pilot is so very subtle in its use of humour, very European/British/French. I hope the audience grows for this one to at least let the project grow. I am waiting with anticipation. This is classic sophisticated humor at its best. This play digs deeply into the mindsets and the source of those mindsets for this generation of young people. Ex-patriots from America's small minded social atmosphere of what I would, as a professor of English Literature, call society undermining the learning process and forcing good minds to evacuate a failed American Education, thinking that Paris, and seeing themselves as Parisians, will recreate their true selves. Ah, the errors of youth.

The biggest reason to recommend The Cosmopolitans is that it's unlike any other comedy pilot out there. You won't be blown away by its plotting, nor will you find loads of straightforward, sitcom-style gags here. But it's the tone, the rhythm of it that's so distinctive. As with many of Stillman's movies, the characters are slightly formal, awkward and unintentionally funny. One reviewer on here wondered who is meant to relate to a bunch of well-educated but impoverished American twenty- somethings living in Paris. Well, the answer is, anyone with an imagination. You don't have to be a tormented Louisiana cop with visions and a drinking problem to enjoy True Detective, do you? Yet whilst there are thousands of cop shows out there, there are no comedy dramas quite like this on TV. So if you like a bit of variation, give it a go.

Exactly like Metropolitan, which was of it's time in 1990, but the world has moved on and clearly Stillman hasn't! What is he trying to say, let's all laugh at the stupid young white Americans? Fine, but it gets old within 10 minutes! I want Amazon to innovate not dredge up an old movie and just make more of it! There are often comparisons to Allen, but he is nowhere near that.. Chloe looks pretty, but she is way better than this! Transparent is the one to watch! Relevant, compelling and thought provoking! Also..I wonder who Amazon thought this was for? I don't think HBO would have made this! Who is his aud? Ex Harvard grads living in Manhattan?

This show tries to copy a Woody Allen or a French film d'auteur. Unfortunately, it ends up being just slow, pompous, and snobbish.It's also a completely unrealistic description of expatriates in Paris. First, the expatriates community barely interacts with the French. Second, French "high society" doesn't mix up with foreigner... even Americans. Third, most of the expatriates are young professionals who share flats and work!Finally, using French actors who don't speak English make it very difficult to believe their acting, as the message they deliver is not in sync with the emotions they are supposed to go through.
