The show was really good for 2 seasons, 9/10 worthy, it was funny, entertaining and bingable, but the new 3rd season destroyed it for me. Not funny, boring and stupid. Also pretty much nothing happened though the whole season, only some non sense drama between characters that had approximetely 15 iq. If you guys care about time, i'd reccomend watching only the first seasons.

Humour at its best with this quirky yet lovable family. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments - their antics and their quirks are endearing and hilarious - best French comedy series I have seen. Waiting for season 2
Super cool!!!

Best French Series

HYSTERICAL. MIGHT LOOSE ITS HILATIOUSNESS IF NOT SEEN IN FRENCH AND YOU DON'T ABOUT FRENCH CULTURE.

Warning: Spoilers
Amazing actors.
The jokes are non stop.
Too many French stuff that can't be conveyed in another language or subtiles:
the accents, the insertion of English and rarely Arabic or Jewish terms. Enrico Macias who is a megastar in France is making fun of himself. He is originally from Algeria so there are a lot of references to that and if you don't know about French culture you might miss it. And you might find the show stupid because of that.
Dear Netflix, keep this one going!

Quality, lighthearted French comedy. Doesn't take itself too seriously and keeps on giving. Loving the evolution of the storyline and hoping for a season 3. Agree about the extremely poor dubbing (in English). Watch it in French with subtitles.
Watch with subs and original voices

Avoid the American English voice overs. They are TERRIBLE. I don't know what the prerequisite is for doing voices but the voices fitting the faces of the characters on screen do not match. It makes it laughable for an entirely different reason.
A really light-hearted comedy show

Okay-ish for french speakers i guess

I gave the new netflix french show a try.
Despite the decent acting, it's mostly boring and a disappointment.
French being my native language, i watched the original version, but i did give the english dubbed version a try out of curiosity and it's really bad.
My advice : if you speak french and you're bored, you can give this a try, otherwise steer clear of this show since both the dubbing and the captions are low quality and the show isn't that good to begin with.

Hilarious French Comedy

This series is so hilarious, my French husband and I can't stop watching. The laughs never stop and the twists get crazier and more hilarious as the show continues. Only 6 episodes is just not fair. We just finished season 2 and I really can't wait for season 3. Viewers with low ratings are ridiculous. It's a great series with great actors and a great storyline. A must watch in French with English subtitles if needed.
Quite all right

An opportunistic and family reconversion
FrenchEddieFelson29 June 2019
The new series Family Business (2019) is based on a hot topic in France, a recurrent topic since one or two decades: the legalization of marijuana for therapeutic or even recreational purpose. The director Igor Gotesman worked on the excellent Mon inconnue (2019) as scriptwriter and is also known for secondary roles in movies such as Edmond (2018) or Un homme pressé (2018). And the cast of Family Business (2019) is relatively enticing, especially the actor Gérard Darmon who is pretty good. Thus, the characters are globally endearing, despite a humour with a blatant lack of finesse. 5/6 of 10.
Underrated!

Bring season 4 on Netflix
hectorsrefinishing14 October 2021
I highly enjoyed watching these seasons of family business I really do hope netflix returns with a season four cause this show is bonkers one of the best shows I've seen in while just wish they were longer episodes cause it's a great series.
Excellent French Comedy

A great way to spend a hot summer afternoon in my a/c'd apartment. All actors were excellent and their dialog was very witty and humorous. I wish they would make more of this series.
I am tired of people criticizing the voice overs. I don't even pay attention to them any more because I'm busy reading the CC's. If you don't like vo's, watch something else. Hasta la vista.

Great actors, poor script
trafflin25 October 2020
I was very excited to watch this series with some of my favorite French actors (Jonathan Cohen, Liliane Rivière & Gerard Darmon) and saw the first 4 episodes of season 1 before I stopped watching.
First, I loved the way actors play in the series (which was the biggest fear I had for a French show). I also discovered other talented actors such as Julia Piaton and Olivier Rosemberg. It's very fluid, characters are believable and dialogues are impactful - whether they're funny or serious. I am not surprised the lead actors got nominated for awards. All 5 stars of my review go to them.
However, the scenario goes haywire. « Il part en couilles » as we say in France. The storyline shifts 6 times per episode, characters being put in unbelievable situations too fast and too often. Perhaps other people will find it enjoyable, but I was expecting something more realistic and believable than what Family Business has to offer. To me, it felt like the scenarists took shortcuts or that they tried to pack as much as they could in a very short amount of time (the episodes are quite short indeed, around 30 min). After 4 episodes of uninterrupted preposterous situations, the show lost its appeal and I didn't feel like watching it anymore.

As usual, I am not used to writing review, but for this series I will do so

,
First of all we need more episodes for the series.
Second, the show start slow at the beginning but then at episode 3 you start connect the dots, it's totally worth it.
Come guys I need to know what the hell is going to happen to this famille.
✌🏻🇸🇦
