Betrayal, Family Dysfunction, & The Porn Industry Collide In The Provocative French Drama ‘The Money Shot’

No matter what the industry, family dysfunction rears its ugly head when loved ones decide to go into business together. The Money Shot, a unique French drama with English subtitles that premieres today on Walter Presents, takes it a step further as the family business is the polarizing world of the adult film industry.

The eight-part drama series follows the the Valadines, a mysterious family who’ve dominated the French X-rated film industry for the last forty years. But times they are a-changin’. Under the leadership of patriarch Alex Valadine (Jean-Baptiste Malartre), the family business is struggling to keep up with the proclivities of a new generation. Alex lives in the past while his audience has a taste for more modern entertainment. Not content to watch the family business go down in erotic flames, Alex’s son Laurent (Julien Boisselier) decides to supersede his father, and with the help of his younger brother Lapo, take over the company.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Sometimes captivating while other times unsettling, The Money Shot deviates from the status quo while creating an intriguing mix of elements that will entice viewers to push play on Episode 2. From an arrogant porn star who has an affinity for dressing like Kenickie from Grease…

… to typical bouts of family drama…

…to umm… sex near balloons, The Money Shot is full of surprises.

The series is only recommended for mature audiences and the shocking conclusion of Episode 1 is not for the weak of heart. If you’re looking for something completely new, The Money Shot is unlike any series you’ve seen before.
