2) Fais pas ci, fais pas \u00e7a <\/em>(2007 – 2017)<\/h2>\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t do this, don\u2019t do that\u201d: how many times have we heard that before?

3) Un Village fran\u00e7ais <\/em>(2009 – 2017)<\/h2>\n\n

This period drama<\/a> is set in WW2 France and chronicles the life of a fictional village in the Jura region under Nazi occupation. The show was a huge sensation, but what made it so special is that it thoroughly analyzes the reasons why some people collaborated with the Germans and others resisted, all of this without judgment and without falling into easy generalizations. Each season covers one year, from the German invasion in 1940 to the liberation in 1945 and its aftermath. A riveting, traumatizing, and addictive show, according to some. Up to you to see if it lives up to the hype.<\/p>\n\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> Natural, natural French is present all throughout the 7 seasons, making the show easy to follow and to fathom. Over and beyond the language side of things, the documentary-like attention to historical details is mind blowing, and will help you know more about France\u2019s painful past – in French of course.<\/p>\n\n
