YMMV / Dix pour cent

Go To

  • Awesome Ego: Andréa Martel, full stop.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Noémie has a lot of fans due to her endlessly entertaining nervous freakouts.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show has gained a great deal of popularity in the Anglophone world. For a long time, it was the French series that English-speaking audiences were most likely to have watched, although it's been overshadowed in recent years by Lupin.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • The episode focusing on Youtuber Norman Thavaud, from season 2, after Thavaud was accused of grooming and rape by several young women who had been fans. Although an investigation into the allegations was ultimately dismissed, the numerous scenes featuring Thavaud being hit on by teenaged girls and behaving recklessly around young children are still pretty uncomfortable to watch.
    • Sigourney Weaver spends most of her episode using comedically underhanded methods to try to make Gaspard Ulliel (who does not appear) the male lead in a film she's set to star in. A year after it aired, Ulliel was killed in a skiing accident at the age of 37. His death was widely seen as a devastating loss to the French film industry.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Noémie taking ages to choose a dress for the César awards became this after Laure Calamy actually won the Best Actress César for her role in My Donkey, My Lover, and I.
  • Ho Yay:
    • Camp Gay Hervé offers to help Gabriel win back his girlfriend Sarah by pretending to be her so that Gabriel can do a trial run of his speech. He gets really deep in character, and Gabriel becomes unnerved.
    • Elise gets very touchy-feely with Camille while complimenting her on her work as an agent. While Camille seems to think she's just being nice, Andréa immediately suspects that her behavior is flirtatious in nature.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • Lupin fans will spot Soufiane Guerrab (Youssef Guédira) as Sami, the friendly waiter who wants to be an actor, and Antoine Gouy (Benjamin Ferel) as the bookstore owner who tries to chat up Monica Bellucci, both in season 3.
    • Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who plays Mathias' wife Catherine, is now better-known as Sylvie in Emily in Paris.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While Colette has the right to be upset that Andréa's workaholism keeps her from doing her part when it comes to raising their daughter Flora, her decision to abandon both of them, even if only temporarily, seems unnecessarily harsh.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Because the series parodies the way actors are seen in the public eye, it runs into this on occasion. For instance, Virginie Efira's cameo plays on her screen persona as a friendly and approachable Girl Next Door (up to that point, she had appeared almost exclusively in romantic comedies). Almost immediately after her episode aired, she began taking Darker and Edgier roles in dramas and thrillers.
  • Vanilla Protagonist: Camille, when compared with the much louder and more attention-grabbing personalities of fellow assistants Hervé and Noémie.
