...elite cultural institutions that Paris boasts in such abundance. Armed only with our Veritas watermarks, we found that institutions conceived by long-buried French kings were delighted to have us around. Admittedly, Harvard-sponsored cultural tourism is not for everyone. Our letters were singularly unsuccessful in getting us first-row places at the large open-air concerts held in Paris over the summer.

Messengers, to be fair, is self-conscious about that: in one scene, a homeless woman lectures TLC's cameras, "This ain't no damn zoo. These are human beings." She's right. This is possibly the best-intentioned--and creepiest--TV show you will see this year...
