Le mystère du lac

Beautiful location! That, sadly, is the only positive thing I can say about the series. With a weak plot, bad script, ridiculous casting (Lise, played by Barbara Schulz - 43yrs old when this was released - is supposed to be around 31 yet she would actually have been nearly double her friends' age 15 years ago, when she was supposed to be around 16 and she actually looks nearer 50 here). Things just keep going from bad to worse and far from being gripped one just wants to throw one's Côtes du Rhône at the screen and shout "FFS!" Oh well... I guess one shouldn't have hoped that French drama could have been Scandi drama...

This series is pretty addictive since there are plenty of suspects with a secret till the very last minute it will still surprise you. every piece of a puzzle fits nicely together. it is not one of the greatest because the main actress "cop" was a bit dull and misfit but not too much to discourage from watching. it will make you watch till the end and that is a well done show for me.

This series is actually pretty well-done: the series keeps revealing more information over its six episodes with a number of suspects, each of whom is supplanted by a new one, even in the last part of Episode 6. Keeps you guessing and there's isn't a lot of wasted plot. Yes, there are a couple of plot holes and the actress who plays the lead is a little long-in-the-tooth. We wanted to give it a 7.7, but couldn't so we gave it a 7. We recommend it.

Basic light touch French crime drama. With all the affairs going on it's a wonder anyone has the time to kill anyone. Don't bother with the second series.

Why replace lead actress Barbara Schulz with another actress that didn't act the role nowhere near as well as she did. I noticed the differences in appearance, hair and acting style; and I didn't rest until I found receipt that a switch had been subtly made. I thought BS was strikingly pretty and did a great job in episodes 1 and 2..... I list interest after episode 3. I'll read spoilers to find out who the culprit is. Think they can pull the old switcheroo and we not know.
