French TV Series "NU"

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but anyway...

In 2018, French producer Olivier Fox in association with OCS put out a most unusual TV series called "NU" where the people in France were required by law to live fully naked due to a combination of events like terrorist attacks and climate change

This series raised a lot of questions about various topics.

What do you think of this idea that everyone is required by law to be fully naked in public all the time?

Oh my. I'm french and I never ever heard of this show.

I HAVE to find it !!

Very interesting concept. And the name of that series, both in French ("Nu") and in English ("Nude") sure doesn't make it easy to find it on certain sites. I'll keep an eye open.

Found it. Can't wait to watch it.

To answer the question, I think if we were forced by law to live naked, it would be very akward at the beginning but then it would become natural for every one I guess. Point is, I'va always wondered what some of my female friends, or colleagues, look like naked, at least I would know ! But they would for me as well. Well… 😄

WOW! If all of our population was forced to be nude….I would opt to go blind first! Eeeeeh 🤢

I almost choked on my coffee. I can't say I disagree with you, @charlie_oneal! 😁

Well, I did watch it today (10 episodes of 20mn, it's quick). Disappointed. First episode is good. We learn all the basis of the narrative. But then, it gets worse and worse. Too bad, could have been good.

Only good point, the main female character is very pretty, and is naked most of the time !

Agree. I don't understand what all the hype was. I barely made it through the first 2 episodes.

I found the episodes (in French) but haven't watched them yet (and reading the comments here doesn't especially make me eager to do so). If someone's interested in getting them, I can upload the files on WeTransfer.

Living naked all the time? Basic common sense. If you actually need something on your body in a particular situation, that's called armor or protective gear.. Undressed is blessed.

But a show made by 2018 France? Pass. I can barely tolerate American TV these days. Call me when someone goes back in time and makes this in 70s or 80s France, with a cast that illustrates human beauty at all ages, and with no extra preaching beyond that.

with a cast that illustrates human beauty at all ages,

For what It's worth, this is the case for this show. Yes the main female character is an attractive young lady, but the parents of the male character are “normal” people, older and fater, and they are naked too. The doctor is a middle age man (50 or something) and not specially good looking.

Wonderful idea and premise.

But the main drawback to implement any such legislation is that, within a few weeks or months, a large percentage of the population would have died of some sort of respiratory infection or be incapacitated by illness for long periods. Doesn't anyone realize how cold and inclement the French climate actually and truly is?

They talked about it in the first episode and said that because of climate changing, french (and european) weather was now always nice and warm. Easy way to get rid of the cold and let people naked without becoming ill 😄

Wow, that is lame. What an easy cop-out … ha ha.

People can still freeze to death at night in the Sahara even if the daytime temps are around 45 degrees C.
