Balthazar

We watched both series on Acorn TV and its probably the best show we have watched over the lockdown. At first it was hard to watch the forensic and mortuary scenes, but the clever, quick paced stories, Balthazar's character, and the french themes, lifestyles and scenery grew on us. (We love France, Paris, etc so that helps too). There certainly were a few bizarre murders and some weaker moments, but in the end I would say it's a favorite of ours and we can't wait for Season 3.

France enjoyed so much the TV series "Forever" (2014) that they wanted to make their own version - enter "Balthazar".

This is among the best ACORN has to offer. Clever, suspenseful, funny and with just the right amount of sexual tension. Balthazar kinda reminds me of Kramer from Seinfeld....haha

Great series.Good cases.This serie focus not only on the cases but in the personal life of the characters.That was intresting in the fisrt season.It keeps you in the second season mostly because cause the flirt of baltha and helene but the 3 season is a joke.This season is a mess.Seems like they had preassure to write new episodes or they care about something else.Baltha personal(erotic) life is a joke the cases have not the same interest and our big case that last 3 seasons finaly has no intrerest at all...So season1 its 9 season2 its 9+ and season3 is 6.At this point i don't understand why i have to watch season4... Too bad it start so well...

Engaging French who-done-it with intelligent plot twists & dialog. Setting & cinematography add to the watch ability not far down the list below the main characters. Subtitles couldn't scare me away!
