Excuse My French

In “Excuse My French,” an uproarious romantic comedy series, we follow the misadventures of Maxine “Max” Dubois, a feisty and ambitious American woman in her late twenties who moves to Paris to chase her dreams of becoming a successful fashion designer. Leaving behind her mundane life and a failed relationship in New York, Max is determined to conquer the city of lights. However, her journey is anything but smooth.

Upon her arrival, Max finds herself in a picturesque yet chaotic Parisian neighborhood, living in a cramped but charming apartment with her eccentric neighbor, Gérard, an out-of-work chef with big dreams of his own. Gérard, with his dry wit and constant grumbling about the culinary world, becomes an unlikely mentor to Max, teaching her not just about their shared love for food but also how to navigate the cultural quirks and hidden gems of Paris.

As Max dives into the high-stakes world of fashion, she meets the enigmatic and suave Julien Moreau, a rising star in the industry who becomes both her greatest challenge and her love interest. Their fiery chemistry is hampered by cultural misunderstandings, language barriers, and the competitive nature of their professions. In her quest to truly embrace French culture, Max hilariously fumbles through language faux pas, much to the amusement and occasional irritation of those around her.

Drawing her circle of friends from her diverse work environment—a fiercely ambitious Bulgarian stylist, a flamboyant Italian photographer, and a bubbly British marketing guru—Max finds support and camaraderie in unexpected places. Together, they tackle love, friendship, and the trials of living in an unfamiliar city.

Through vibrant cityscapes, delicious food sequences, and lively Parisian nightlife, “Excuse My French” showcases Max’s journey of self-discovery, highlighting themes of ambition, cultural identity, and the importance of resilience. With every episode filled with charm, humor, and heartwarming moments, viewers are taken on a delightful ride through the ups and downs of love and life in the most romantic city in the world. Will Max find a way to blend her American flair with the elegance of French culture, or will she forever be lost in translation?
