Ed Dyson The biggest reason to recommend The Cosmopolitans is that it's unlike any other comedy pilot out there. You won't be blown away by its plotting, nor will you find loads of straightforward, sitcom-style gags here. But it's the tone, the rhythm of it that's so distinctive. As with many of Stillman's movies, the characters are slightly formal, awkward and unintentionally funny. One reviewer on here wondered who is meant to relate to a bunch of well-educated but impoverished American twenty- somethings living in Paris. Well, the answer is, anyone with an imagination. You don't have to be a tormented Louisiana cop with visions and a drinking problem to enjoy True Detective, do you? Yet whilst there are thousands of cop shows out there, there are no comedy dramas quite like this on TV. So if you like a bit of variation, give it a go.

kmitch0550 Exactly like Metropolitan, which was of it's time in 1990, but the world has moved on and clearly Stillman hasn't! What is he trying to say, let's all laugh at the stupid young white Americans? Fine, but it gets old within 10 minutes! I want Amazon to innovate not dredge up an old movie and just make more of it! There are often comparisons to Allen, but he is nowhere near that.. Chloe looks pretty, but she is way better than this! Transparent is the one to watch! Relevant, compelling and thought provoking! Also..I wonder who Amazon thought this was for? I don't think HBO would have made this! Who is his aud? Ex Harvard grads living in Manhattan?

irala68 According to the pilot of the series, Paris is mainly populated by white middle class people between 20 and 30 years old, who's main concern is finding a good party. Dialogs are boring and meaningless,there is no action of any sort; all the conversations seemed to be focused on reinforcing the idea of Paris that is romantic and cheesy, repeating the popular clichés and stereotypes.Very clean visually (there is not even one piece of rubbish on the street & even "roughed up" hair of some french guys look carefully arranged), some good camera work which is unfortunately wasted on this series. So, if you're looking for an airbrushed version of Paris and airbrushed reality than it is series for you, but if you're looking for some more substantial stuff to watch you can give this one safely a miss.

bobmancini An excellent little Pilot, produced by Amazon as part of their original programming. Audience feedback will determine whether this gets picked up and turned into a full season. But certainly the Pilot is promising. The only problem is it's too brief. We want the rest of the Season for binge viewing right now! Beautiful people in the Beautiful city with Beautiful dialogue. What's not to like? Particularly strong performances from Adam Brody and Chloe Sevigny. The Italian actor is also very sympathetic. This is the Whit Stillman of Metropolitan but now updated for the 21st Century and set against the backdrop of the ever-alluring Paris. An intriguing idea from Amazon. More please!
