FRANCE 24’s TV critic Dheepthika Laurent joins us from Lille, where the Séries Mania festival is kicking off with two hotly anticipated French shows. The sumptuous dishes of a 19th-century celebrity chef are the jumping-off point for « Carême », and we check out the fifth season of « HPI », which sees Audrey Fleurot embody an exceptionally intelligent part-time sleuth. We also find out more about Amanda Seyfried’s latest show « Long Bright River », which the award-winning actress is presenting at the festival, while Christina Hendricks’ latest project takes the « Mad Men » star to rural Ireland. Plus, as « Adolescence » sparks debate in the UK, we discuss its shocking subject matter and innovative style, and we also get a glimpse of comic Hollywood caper « The Studio ».
