Sick Product of a Sick System

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This was one of the only science fiction series made for the french TV at the beginning of the 80s and I saw it when I was a teenager. I bought it recently from INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel)for a few euros, and I must concede that it is much worse than what I remembered. It is mainly a holiday catalog (Italy, Columbia, South Africa, Austria,France, Germany) with lot of landscapes and very little dialogs or scenario. The idea is not bad (even if not very original), but it is poorly developed and the acting by Barbara Kramer is terrible. Many details are incorrect on IMDb. The main actors were Josep Maria Flotats and Barbara Kramer (not Michael McGovern), who are present in all six episodes.
