Snazzy Daisy February 17 Share February 17 Synopsis: Quote After Paris is liberated by Allied troops, Nazi collaborators face punishment. Christian is conflicted about ever designing again. Airdate: Feb 21, 2024 Link to comment
Straycat80 February 23 Share February 23 After not knowing or reading about this period of time in Paris I’m really enjoying this series. I thought it would be about French designers, and I guess it will be, but the war period was fascinating to me. A lot I did not know, but I love history. I knew it went very bad for the women who collaborated with the Nazi’s. Not sure how I feel about Coco and her actions. Trying to survive like any women at that time? I don’t know. I know Dior’s sister survived the concentration camp, I hope she finds her way home soon so Christian can move on and then maybe the show will move on to showing us fabulous fashion. 1 Link to comment

Personally, I'm not interested in a never-ending war drama. One episode as background, OK. But (so far) four episodes out of ten? Too much. 1 Link to comment
Snazzy Daisy February 23 Author Share February 23 So, Madame Delahaye is the one who introduces clairvoyance stuff to Christian. A scene at her home where Christian pounding his chest, insisting that his heart is open - that’s a compelling performance by Ben Mendelsohn. Christian’s father, Maurice is mean and unreasonable. Christian shouldn’t be blamed over what happened to Catherine. He also shouldn’t be insulted for his profession and sexuality. Maurice crushes his soul, making him questioning his worth. 💔 Why can’t the show put some efforts to fully recreate and showcase both dresses that received the most praise at Théâtre de la Mode? Coco is truly a slippery person. She escapes MI6 in the nick of time. “My heart is French, but my ass is international” mantra has obviously led Arletty to treason charges. The song at the end of this episode, it’s quite lovely… Link to comment

The trailer is very misleading. That’s fine with me, I’m finding this show very compelling and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I did some research on the actress Arletty. IRL they felt she was too famous for the strip and shaved head punishment. Instead she was sentenced to 18 months in prison, which was actually a Chateau, and when she was released she resumed her acting career. 2 2 Link to comment
