Tensions sur le Cap Corse

The businessman Tony Siabelli has been found dead near the pier of the port of Toga. The commander Gabrielle Monti Monti, who has arrived recently at Bastia, is in charge of the crimininal investigation with the help of her colleagues Jean-Laurent and Ange. Her father, Xavier Monti , former investigating judge tries to speak with Gabrielle,but the relationship between them has been always tense-besides Xavier Monti has tried in the past to catch Tony Siabelli but he did not manage it. First suspects: the widow of Tony, Claire Siabelli who has a good alibi, then Marco Siabelli-a quite agressive man- has also an alibi. Also Sophie Desprès, the mistress of Tony has an alibi. Little by little Gabrielle and ZXavier understand each other, but the investigation goes to slowly. Finally the team has a new element, the switch of a grounnd against apartment in Bastia.

I enjoyed the good performances of Amira Casar, Richard Bohringer, Philippe Corti, Véronique Volata, Yoni Nahum, Jean-Michel Pagni, Florence Thomassin and Alysson Paradis.

This episode of this wonderful series looks great. The scenery and photography are outstanding. The acting is good. But it ends there. This is one of those crime shows where, for most of the show, you don't know if the criminals are the bad guys or the police are the bad guys. Nothing is clear. I suppose it's the writing that is the problem.

An additional difficulty is that several of the players in the plot are already dead, and the characters argue about their motives and histories.

The ending was improbable and thrown together. Watch it on a day you don't care, just to have the pretty scenery on.

I watched this show on a streaming service called Hoopla which shows many of the MhZ network shows. It is a service you get through your public library and watch on a Roku or on your computer. Ask at your library if they have the service. Another fantastic show I watched on Hoopla was Captain Marleau. Please ignore the goofy art they put on the show title!
