Call My Agent! (
Dix Per Cent) landed on Netflix. The show, which follows the workings of a talent agency in central Paris, is like an up-market
Extras in that each episode features a cameo from a celebrity guest or two. Thankfully, unlike
Extras, the show is altogether more optimistic, with much less Ricky Gervais and much more of the alluring grandeur of French cinema.

Less than a week after Anthony Hopkins won his second Academy Award for “The Father,” a dud called “The Virtuoso” arrives to make you wonder if they gave it to the wrong guy. The lousy-follow-up phenomenon happens all the time (in part because people throw money at newly minted honorees, which explains how Halle Berry became a Bond girl or pretty much everything Melissa Leo has made since “The Fighter”), but rarely does an Oscar winner have a turkey already waiting in the wings to undermine a career-high achievement.
