...star of the show manages to be quite convincing as the two brothers. Louis is appropriately annoying, if perhaps a bit childish even for a bratty young King. But Phillipe is his utter opposite, sweetly grateful for the fatherly treatment that he gets from Athos and so kindly that everybody is immediately suspicious when he replaces the real king.

The rhythm, look and attitude of Channel Umptee-3, for example, are extremely familiar. You've seen all the moves a million times, and watching the show you enter a state of reflexive TV consciousness. The pace and tone of the more simplistic programs, on the other hand, is very unfamiliar, which makes them oddly fascinating. More effectively than a minimalist...
