Il était une fois dans le trouble

2004–2014 · 11 seasons

A breezy, silly workplace sitcom where each episode breezes by on farcical schemes and cheerful incompetence.

Overview: Jon, Max, Jee and Sophie earn a living solving other people’s problems, but they can barely run their own lives without courting disaster. And they’ll do anything to keep their customers happy—even if it means posing as a dentist, vet or psychologist!
How it feels: Light, absurd, whimsical and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Work, friendship, identity, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
