At times, its silliness stretches credulity – most of the plots could be resolved in five minutes, if only the characters would talk to each other directly – but it is so charismatic that it almost always gets away with it. ... But this remains a wonderful, bright series until the end, and it does end – properly, satisfactorily and neatly.
There’s plenty of intrigue afoot, but nothing really nasty occurs. Like Schitt’s Creek, it’s all immensely likeable – perfect escapism for a bleak winter.
Only the new Season 4 character Élise (Anne Marivin), from the rival agency Starmédia, does not appear to have any redeeming traits besides her ecologically friendly mode of transportation. ...

The prickly relationship between fame and art runs through the entire series.
Without Herrero, the show has lost a scintilla of charm, resorting once or twice to heavy-handed twists reminiscent of a soap opera (one subplot involves the most Machiavellian of agents arriving from a rival firm). ... I’m nit-picking, but only because Call My Agent! has consistently set the bar so high. As for the ending, the show deserves kudos for resisting the temptation to pump up the poignancy or deliver some corny resolution.
