TV-MASynopsis
A Very Secret Service (Au service de la France, 2015), Season 1 — a French comedy series, twelve episodes, watch online on iFILM. Paris, 1960: trainee spy André Merlaux joins the SDECE fresh-faced and utterly unprepared.
His three handlers are seasoned agents who treat every mission as a chance to look competent while getting almost nothing right. The season moves from diplomatic fiascos in Algeria to a trip to Moscow, with a Mossad-borrowed lie detector rattling skeletons back at headquarters. There's a mole somewhere in the service, the Colonel has decided André is more trouble than he's worth, and Sophie keeps asking questions a spy is not supposed to answer.
Where British spy parodies go loud, this one stays dry and deadpan — the comedy lands quietly. Stream A Very Secret Service Season 1 online on iFILM.
