This show made me feel like I was out to dinner with my parents.. I love my parents.. but what ever they talk about is beyond boring. I already forget what these characters were whispering and yapping about. However the characters are more likable and the overall show is better than the other Amazon "pilot episodes" which were beyond dreadful. One of the main characters - Aubrey - is cute and likable and the actress playing her should have a bright future. Lets just hope this show picks up and become a bit more interesting, because crap like Red oaks, Hand of "no" God, and Really(really that's the name of the show, because it really sucks) shouldn't be given a dime more where The Cosmopolitans is at least TRYING to be a likable show. Although it needs work, I hope the writers pick up the deflated ball sitting on a stone paved Paris street and get things rolling.

Thirty some odd minutes is not enough time to make a definitive decision about a pilot film. We are introduced to the characters and the main plot. In this pilot , 'The Cosmopolitans' are in Paris. I assume some of them work, but have no idea. Right now they are all about complainng about 'significant' others. It seems so mundane, no career issues, but going to the next party. If they are, indeed, representative of the US younger generation, help us, please.

Chole Sevigny plays a fashion journalist of some sort, indifferent to these young people who call her 'Goldcoat'. Snotty is a word I might use for her. Adam Brody plays a Spanish nitwit, out for drugs, and no one seems to like him. Wonder why he is part of the group? This pilot looks promising, but I need one or two more episodes.

Not Sure. prisrob 08-31-14

I watched to see Paris which is treated rather like NY in SATC, meaning as a character. The 2 American guys were OK, the blonde one showed up Adam Brody. The girl was pretty good as a disappointed small town girl in Paris. Friz the French guy was very good, and the Italian guy was good too. Chloe Sevigny character has the most to work with here but she comes off as just a one dimensional bit@h, not even a sophisticated one as written.

So far I really like this show, where are the others in this series????
I am surprisingly impressed by the quality of this amazon show. I really like the charm of the characters and the flair of the whole set up of the show, very French.
Hoping to see more in this series! I gave it only four stars as I have only seen the beginning of something that could be really good, I can't really judge a series from just one show.

This is a marvelously entertaining 30 minutes of wry comedy and even wryer romance. Whitman writes first rate, slightly italicized dialog for his WASPy characters--affluent, somewhat aimless young Americans pursuing love, somewhat haplessly, in contemporary Paris--and his attractive and gifted cast plays it to perfection. The satire is astringent but affectionate--and very funny. The assured direction is a triumph of effortless style. More please.

The pilot seems like Stillman wrote a film and then cut it down to an episode. I know, you may think that sounds bad, and it was a bit jarring to watch, but all it really means is that the story moves at an incredible speed. I mean, I found myself having trouble to keep up, but it was undeniably good. I don't know. I kinda hope he'll slow down if he makes more of these because it was detrimental to the visuals (and Stillman has always had a good eye), but the dialogue is damn good as always so keep up the good work Whit. I hope to see more.

I really love Whit's work, and thought moving Cosmopolitans to Paris was a great idea, but this pilot didn't work for me. Maybe it was the short-format. The characters lacked depth and weren't believable. Paris was a non-entity. This could have been any city.

Pleeeeeeeeeease come back with more episodes. The best thing I've seen in ages.
