Proud 2018
Fiertés (original title)
Drama | TV Mini-Series (2018– )
User review:
First, this is so safe and timid, one has to wonder why this was produced and aired on Arte and not France 2. Let’s admit they tried (very clumsily) to embrace a large audience. Still, if the third episode wasn’t set in 2013, you could swear this was produced in the 90’s. Fiertés (what a badly chosen title, considering the result) only is the mostly joyless depiction of the many pains that a gay man has to go through – as if a gay life was only a life of pain. But the worse part is that this limited series (pun intended) almost always choses the side of the heterosexual characters over the gay ones. As if asking for empathy from a straight audience toward gay men was impossible. Finally, the pace is severely lacking, everything is toned down to the point of total blandness, and the depiction of the working class is laughable. A serious misfire.

Why did you choose the very negative review about this special French TV series, which in all its objectivity is much more served by this summary (from the IMDb website): “A three part mini series about a French family spanning the generations, with each episode coinciding with a crucial moment for gay rights in France. In 1981, it was still illegal to be gay in France. Today, same-sex marriage is recognized and has paved the way for legalizing the adoption of children by LGBTQ families. The story of Charles, Victor and Diego, three generations of the same family who represent the seismic social changes that took place in just three decades. “
