If you like quirky, this show is for you. It's rather over the top, but also quite inventive.
A disgraced Lord Pompidou, his butler and his dog live in a sublime mashup of 'caravans' (known as travel trailers here in the US), and scheme daily to get back their glory, or at least get something to eat.
Eliminating most speaking, I think, brings out Matt's acting talents as he ends up 'showing, not telling' most of the time.
The dog really completes the piece, and is very well done, with a large collection of expressions while still retaining essential dogness. I puzzled over it a bit before I was sure it was a puppet; it's that good.
I will have to warn the prospective watcher of this show: nothing really makes any sense. It is subtle slapstick of a really new kind, which is pretty rare on television these days and I, personally, applaud Netflix for putting this sort of show on.
