Viewers find 'A Very Secret Service' to be a delightful blend of espionage and humor, reminiscent of the OSS 117 series. Set in the 1960s, the series offers a satirical look at French intelligence through the eyes of a young trainee, blending geopolitical crises with office comedy. While the first season is highly praised for its engaging storyline, some feel the second season loses momentum.

👍 Delightful espionage humor

👎 Second season may disappoint
