The one hundred twentieth TV show: #866 Maison Close
Some shows just never connect with you. Maison Close is a show recommended as [art of the revival of French high quality drama, coincidentally launching around the same time as Game of Thrones. It has the same propensity of soft core pornography, as you'd expect from a show set in a brothel. However, it never really captured us like Game of Thrones did or, indeed, as its contemporary Les Revenants did. I don't care about the characters - most of them aren't unlikeable, but there's nothing that I find myself connecting to. The circumstances are, at times, dire, but I view it with some sort of emotional detachment. There are horrible scenes and people are abused, but it's done to tell a story I can't get invested in.
