Capitani

If you can't find anything better, then this series is not a complete waste of you time. I'm now in the second season. Can't really remember much of the first. The story is simple and adequately told, without fussing around. This however is also the down side; no surprises, no interesting or unexpected plot twists. Just simple and straightforward crime with a plot hole here and there. The acting and dialogues are average at best and for some charaters below average. The characters remain very superficial. Dialogues may feel forced and not well acted out. The whole atmosphere breaths neutrality, contrary to what I love about most of the French and Scandinavian crime series. You won't get hooked, nor will you probably irritated. Doable as an in-between while waiting for something better.

The plot is ludicrous. There are giant holes in the story that make it totally impossible to get into the narrative. The investigator seems unwilling to follow up any clues. He runs around like on steroids, but insists on not following up any leads. The subplot seems weird and even there, there is a huge hole in the premise of the story.

That being said I enjoyed the filming, atmosphere and scenery, so I watched all of it. The language is fun to listen to.

Made a change from Nordic and French shows that we watch a lot of. Not quite up there with the very best, but good none the less. Decent story, acting and production.

I enjoyed watching this clever whodunit , it's a fast paced mystery that involves different plots and several storylines , which connect nicely at the end with engaging characters and great acting , you should watch the subtitled version and not the dubbed one. There are 12 episodes of 30 minutes each , I recommend it for murder/mystery fans !

Great acting, tight editing, sharp dialogue and excellent use of locations make this 12 episode (less than half hour each) series a really engaging surprise even if the territory is not entirely original. Where a number of other French series exploring similar plots (missing girl/s in a remote village) seem to go immediately OTT on Gallic mysticism and generally grotesque village carry-on, the mood here is determinedly low-key and down-beat (similar to the excellent Belgian series The Break), making it one of the best and most credible cop/detective shows currently available on Netflix (in Ireland, at least). Well worth a look
