Jugée Coupable

I enjoyed the premise of this 6 part series with twists and turns in every episode. There are so many improbabilities that should have lowered the rating but I still enjoyed a binge watching of the series. A young woman, applying for a job in another city, 6 hours away, has packed enough clothes for weeks: she didn't already have a job, flat or other responsibilities to which she could just drop? She has enough available money to stay in this town, but meals, gas for her car, etc? C'mon..... Also, it shows the murdered mother using a mobile telephone in 1995 small town France? Lastly, the protagonist is getting unexplained, anonymous text messages and they can't determine who sent them - I kept yelling at them to find the IP address- this is not hard. Saying all this, I was intrigued until the very end because I wanted to know who was the murderer. BTW, the scenery of Brittany is gorgeous!

This French drama opens twenty five years ago with a young woman dying as she falls from a cliff; a murder investigation is started. In the present Lola, another young woman, visits the area for a job interview; everybody looks at her oddly and the invitation to the interview proves to be a hoax. A text suggests she goes to a bar and read the local paper... the lead story is about the events twenty five years ago; the accompanying photograph shows that Lola looks just like the murdered woman. It is suggested that Lola is in fact her daughter. Over the course of the series she learns more about her origins and the events of a quarter of a century ago. As secrets emerge various people involved in the original case end up dead.

I thought this was an intriguing series with plenty of twists and turns and not everything going as expected. The identity of villain is far from obvious with several people I thought more likely suspects being eliminated, sometimes literally, before the denouement; which is admittedly a bit melodramatic. The cast does a solid job and, as is often the case in this sort of series, the setting looks great. Overall I'd say this is well worth watching if you are a fan of Euro crime drama.

These comments are based on watching the series in French with English subtitles.

Walter Presents. Six part drama. French with English subtitles.

As with many dramas this starts off ok, but it becomes very repetitive. The rhetoric going back to a crime from 25 years previously and it is all very confusing.

The drama is drawn out too long and is at least two episodes too long.

The relationships of some of the characters is bewildering, even though the same ground is covered many times. Also, for some reason, understanding the actual names being used in the dialogue and who is being referred to is often unclear.

The further into the drama the worse it got until it finished with so many convoluted historical events it left me feeling it had been a total waste of time.

When Lola discovers her biological mother was murdered 25 years ago she is plunged into her hidden past she knew nothing about to discover the identity of her father, her mother's murderer, and her own history.

This is a contemporary drama and contains language that some viewers, particularly those of a more mature generation, will find offensive.
