Cultural Tip
In France, "pièce" most often refers to a theatrical play, but in everyday conversation it can also mean a "movie" or "TV episode" when the context is clear. Keep the tone informal; using "T'as" signals familiarity. If you need a more formal register, replace the contraction with "Avez‑vous vu…".
