    A Guy, a Girl Season 1 Episode 24 - À la banque
    9.3/10(14 votes)

    S1:E24

    Jean and Alex are at the bank. Jean keeps a close eye on his accounts, yet there are problems. You don't have to look far for the reason: it's Alex. She doesn't know how to use the ATMs, she doesn't know how to make a deposit or withdraw cash... she doesn't know a thing—she's hopeless! And yet, she spends money without a second thought.

  2. A Guy, a Girl Season 1 Episode 27 - À la librairie
    9.3/10(12 votes)

    S1:E27

    Jean and Alex find themselves surrounded by books. Alex is particularly drawn to titles about relationships and how to improve them—books with a strong feminist slant that Jean finds utterly sappy. As for Loulou, he prefers graphic novels for adults or chatting with the saleswoman—the perfect way to trigger Alex’s jealousy. That said, when it comes to the great classics, our two friends still have some catching up to do.

    S1:E15

    Jean takes Alex golfing. He teaches her the basics of the game, but she doesn't get it at all and is terrible at it. Jean grows exasperated and stops being able to relax. In any case, Jean knows a lot of people; it all seems a bit fishy to Alex...

    9.2/10(11 votes)

    S1:E34

    Alex decides to get behind the wheel with Jean’s help—or rather, his criticism. It has to be said that the couple is very relaxed—perhaps too much so: what with the cigarette, the phone, the makeup, the planner, and the games, one might almost forget they are actually driving. So, when they get pulled over by a cop, they try to talk their way out of a fine.

    9.1/10(12 votes)

    S1:E22

    It’s official! The dog (Brioche) is home! Alex is absolutely besotted, whereas Jean is annoyed: ever since the dog arrived, Alex has eyes only for him—so much for their private moments, evenings for two, and romps in the bedroom... Though it doesn't last long, as Brioche meets a tragic end at Jean's hands.

    S1:E14

    S1:E18

    Alex and Jean consult several psychologists who use various techniques—such as the "mirror method," designed to resolve their relationship issues by confronting them with their own reflections. Naturally, both Alex and Jean hold very personal views regarding their relationship and themselves.

    The couple has a doctor's appointment. The wait is long, but the pair keeps busy with magazines. Once they are with the doctor, they each ask their questions. Jean isn't entirely at ease at the doctor's office.

    S1:E23

    Chouchou and Loulou have gone camping. It’s a treat for Alex but not for Jean, who really isn't the outdoorsy type—in fact, he’s brought along all the comforts of modern life: a computer, a mobile phone, and an electronic organizer. To make matters worse, our girl isn't helping either: she didn't pack properly and can't stop putting on makeup. And to top it all off, the tent and the food supplies are being overrun by bugs...

    8.9/10(11 votes)

    S1:E29

    Chouchou and Loulou are going to rent some videos. Since they don't share the same tastes, it's not easy finding movies to watch together—except for X-rated ones, though returning those requires a certain knack for discretion! What's more, Alex isn't very good at describing a movie she's looking for if she doesn't know the title or the actors' names—unlike Jean, who can even mimic the actors' voices in several languages.

    S1:E30

    Jean and Alex are each in their respective offices, talking to one another on the phone.

    S1:E35

    The couple is at the movies. Although they don't share the same interests, it’s clear that Jean can be moved to tears by a film, while Alex is far from brave when watching a horror movie. In any case, even at the cinema, the lovebirds are arguing.

    S1:E38

    Jean and Alex are at a restaurant with Isa. Right from the start, Alex grows jealous of Isa and makes it very clear to Jean. She tries hard to show herself off, but it’s a bit of a flop—though her snide remarks certainly hit the mark! To make matters worse, Jean keeps listing Isa’s good qualities, while Isa herself commits a few charming blunders...

    8.9/10(11 votes)

    S1:E39

    It’s a TV night for the couple... well, mostly a night of talking for Alex—something that really gets on Jean’s nerves. They watch everything, but they don't see the shows the same way. There’s more going on in front of the TV than just watching, though: Jean works out and plays video games... but that’s not exactly what shows him in his best light.

    S1:E44

    The couple is at the bar with Daniel and Jeannette. The atmosphere is lively; Alex cracks a joke at Jean's expense, and they even dance—perhaps a bit too much for Jean's liking... at least until jealousy enters the picture for both Alex and Jean.

    S1:E45

    Jean and Alex are enjoying a short thalassotherapy getaway. There’s nothing better for unwinding, even though their schedule is packed with activities. Plus, they have to send postcards! Jean particularly appreciates the presence of plenty of young women—not to mention the masseuses—but Alex knows exactly how to get her own back...

    8.8/10(11 votes)

    S1:E20

    There are frequent knocks at the door of our two lovebirds, and the visitors aren't necessarily trustworthy—cults, religious groups, thugs... but Alex and Jean look out for each other. It’s a good thing, too, because depending on who shows up, they might find themselves with some unexpected new interests. In any case, the couple can no longer tolerate these constant interruptions and makes that very clear.

    S1:E37

    Jean really isn't used to grocery shopping, and it’s far from being something he enjoys—admittedly, Alex doesn't make it any easier. Still, nothing beats a bit of childish play or singing along to make the most of the moment. Plus, with good organization, everything runs smoothly... well, except for the wait!

    8.8/10(11 votes)

    S1:E43

    Jean and Alex are on the subway, and public transport certainly isn't the place where Alex becomes any less of a control freak or any less talkative. On the contrary, she chats with everyone—Jean, the other passengers... even an apple, if need be. Besides, you can run into some pretty odd characters on the subway...
