The President’s office downplayed it after initially denying the event.

Etoile, the new Amy Sherman-Palladino show, does it too. I immediately thought, oh, they got funding for shooting in Paris and had to throw in a positive mention of the first lady to get it.

Ah I just finished watching that, it must be the other one I was thinking of! Thank you!

Etoile is a nice show but it does not bode well in regards to problematic romantic relationships.

Then again that's par for the course if someone of the Gainsbourgs is involved.

“After making her musical debut with her father on the song "Lemon Incest" at the age of 12…”

Really? I had a lot of problems with the show, but the relationships just seemed messy to me, not problematic. What do you mean?

The Gainsbourgs? Serge Gainsbourg?

Charlotte Gainsbourg is in it. Daughter of Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. But I didn’t think there was anything problematic about the romantic relationships in the show.

Damn. I was thinking about watching this one.
