You're the best !
I wish you the happiest time watching the future mind-blowing episodes !

If you're not there, do yourself a favor and don't ruin the experience by watching it on such poor quality on social networks.
As for those who're doing lives of it, well, you know what I think of spoilers...

All for nothing.
Frankly, after 10 years of extreme hard work, hoping to show that we can do great stuff in 🇫🇷, popular yet clever, not necessarily kids-only oriented, I'm a bit discouraged.
