Only the French...

...can have a highly regarded television show where a lesbian gets pregnant in a three-way with her boss.

In most shows, this scenario would either be in a sitcom of craziness or a melodrama or a soap opera.

Nope. This is Call My Agent on Netflix (aka Dix Pour Cent in France) an office drama where talented people flounder and flail in the personal and professional lives. Just like real people, except their jobs involve movie stars.

Kudos to Camille Cottin for playing a smart, hardworking woman with an indiscriminate sex life with dignity, grace and complexity.
