In my experiences as a German visiting France a few times they are more pretentious about speaking french.
I feel like in other countries people care less about me not speaking their native language, most often we both just speak english and everything is fine.
And even if neither of us speaks any language of the other I feel people are more willing to communicate with hands and feet. In France they just look at you annoyed and hope you go away.




That and the only time that something remotely interesting happens is at the start or end of an episode.
It’s so that you start watching the episode and then at the end want to watch the next one and it disgusts me because it feels so manipulative.
This is not a soap opera, it’s supposed to be star trek.
