Le temps est assassin

Beautiful Corsica is the backdrop for this complex and engaging show with strong cast and pretty fast moving action. Ok, so like many french shows there are some far fetched connections, but it's entertaining and gripping.

I rarely write a review as not a critic.

But this is truly atrocious from beginning to end, I know it's from TF1, but still. It's so cringing how truly bad this série is

The cast - the "acting" - the actors - the script - and the so called make up - are all as bad as each other

I had to watch it until the end, but this is time completely and utterly wasted which I will never have back,

French television seems very keen on glamourous murder-dramas set in its beautiful south (or at least, they're the sort of dramas that are often shown in the UK). If you've got, flaunt it, I guess, although it makes me smile to recall the 1980s BBC soap opera 'Howard's Way' that tried to project glamour while set on the English south coast. But while 'Time is a Killer' may be glamorous, it's hard to call it good, with a preposterous plot that ultimately turns upon a woman who has been kept imprisoned for 20 years just happening to work out how to escape literally moments before the cavalry comes to rescue her. Forget the murders, and it's just lifestyle porn. Even the presence is the cast of two veterans of the excellent 'Spiral' can't save it; watch that for a (very unglamorous) look at how murder stories should really be told.

The scenery here is awesome. Not your typical US or British show. However it's really enjoyable with decent acting. Plenty of twists along the way and overall a very enjoyable watch .

I have watched one episode so far and may not watch more of them. Many of the characters look too young e.g. Clo's grandfather looks just about old enough to be her father and the retired police detective looks younger than he did 25 years earlier. Although Natale's hair and beard have been sprinkled with a bit of talcum powder he, too, does not look as if he has aged by 25 years. The singing is a bit embarrassing too.
