This is your basic French soap opera. Most European shows have people who look like people you'd meet on the street. Not this one; it's in the American mold, with the gorgeous female detective who constantly needs rescuing by a man. Preferably the handsome male detective. "If only I hadn't been in that coma..." Ridiculous dialogue, bad acting, and multiple opportunities for the females to get drenched so their bodies are on display.
This is a waste of many hours of time. There are so many good Swedish detective shows out there...do yourself a favor and watch one of those instead.

If you like mystery, drama, love, mythes than this will be a great show! You want to watch till the end to know who is the bad guy/girl and why he/she did it. The two main characters are Ingrid Chauvin and Bruno Madinier. They aren't only very beautiful but they can really act! usually I don't really like the French language. But that's not a reason to don't watch it. Also you see how the actors especially "Ingrid chauvin" become better in her acting during the series.
Don't forget the music and intro! I don't know who's the composer but It's very good! It comes and go on the write/ good time and it gives the series a little bit more tension.

The reason I'm rating this French mini-series as high as I do is because of the title. I spent six weeks in France chasing after dolmens, cromlechs, and grandes menhirs brissés (and non-brisés).
The dolmen in the title is the remains of a prehistoric burial chamber that looks like a small stone house or large table. This one comes complete with a six foot tall stone semi-circle with a single symbol on each stone, a passageway to the sea caves below, and a passageway to the castle on the island. With as many corpses as a Norwegian Thriller, I was surprised at first to find each episode was 90 minutes, but it takes six episodes to dispatch so many characters in French.
Dolmen is romantic in both a dreamy way and like a soap-opera; furthermore it has the conventions of a romantic comedy (with lots of extra killing).
