Morgana: La detective genial

Story: well, not all the episodes are perfect (a couple are exaggerated, I mean on investigation side and some things on the investigation process is taken lightly), but this show does really entertain! There is the background story which is very intriguing and keeps the interest alight, and there also is the romance, funny, drama, and serious side!

Actress & Actors and Acting: personally, I really like the cast, they all are very good. Very well done, guys!

Conclusion: if you are searching for something not very difficult, funny and with some romance along, well, this show will probably suits you! If you can't stand even the slightly mistake, well, I advise you to go watch other stuff as Orphan Black.

We started watching the US version of this show and liked it so we decided to see what the original French version was like. We watched the first episode dubbed and that was not enjoyable. Then we watched the next 3 episodes with subtitles, much better. For the first couple episodes the stories are the same as the US version but there are small changes in the plot that make a big difference. For instance, the subplot about Morgane's missing boyfriend is different and much more interesting. I also feel that the interactions between the characters are subtler and more believable. Morgane's interactions with her teenage daughter are very funny and her interactions with Adam are more complex. In the French version Adam contributes as much to solving the cases as Morgane does. He is also a little more respectful of the value Morgane adds to each investigation. He seems to sympathetic to her situation, respectful of her abilities and confident in his own. This gives his character more depth than the US version.

First, do yourself a favor and watch the French version with subtitles. The English voices are terrible! I get that they're trying to sync the voices to the video but it makes the characters sound like imbeciles. The added laughing and "oh ho" every time Morgane speaks is ridiculous. Makes her sound like a lunatic.

I found the subtitled version and it's much better. The voices are authentic. Those dubbed ones don't remotely match the personality of the character.

It's a very good show and I'm rewatching with subtitles. Makes a whole lot more sense and not as annoying. I love the characters. You can actually learn something from watching this show. The way Morgane explains her process is quite fascinating.

The kind of humour reminds me of Death in Paradise. Very funny, quite original, certainly not your average detective. All players perform wonderfully. Each part is great and they work together impeccably. You have to watch it in French, with subtitles, dubbed would be less funny. The voice of Audrey can't be dubbed good enough.

Morgane is brilliant and the totally chaotic, graphic and anti procedural way she figures everything out, is captivating to watch. Fleurot is a beautiful actrice, but they only thing that annoys me tremendously is the long fake shiny transparent nails she wears, that appear over a hundred times in closeup on the screen, each episode. It is really very annoying, way too much. Fleurots hands are really made ugly this way, which they aren't in real life at all.

Apart from that, the 8 episodes produced are great and I hope we will see more of them.

I'm an American who binge watched 3 seasons in French w/subtitles before I even found out they had dubbed it in English. I watched 1 of the episodes that was dubbed in English & I actually prefer it in it's original French w/subtitles. It loses something w/the voice actors they chose for the dub.

The premise is awesome bc it's actually kinda spot on. I've seen things that police/prosecutors have missed that are obvious to me (& are kinda common sense), that should've been picked up by someone along the way. Doesn't matter who.

The characters are fun & work together. Of course you're going to gave the push/pull at first, due to the egos being bruised. Viewers will enjoy watching the relationships of the unit grow.

Of course there's not only the weekly murders to solve, but there's also character backstory, which of course brings it's own drama, misunderstandings, warmth, friendship, and love.

You have fun, quirky characters, along with the prerequisite stick in the mud characters. You have cute kids and some pets. All blended together to make a great cast.

Give this little show a watch. I recommend this wholeheartedly. The American version is also cute, but don't discount the ORIGINAL. It's the best one.
