Meurtres sur les îles du Frioul

This is a difficult episode to review. Once again, I can complain that the characters are "unlikeable" or simply not rounded out well enough, yet this episode has a great plot and a good payoff. You just have to wait until the last third of the show.

Add insanely gorgeous scenery and a unique historical connection with the island.

I watched this show on a streaming service called Hoopla which shows many of the MhZ network shows. It is a service you get through your public library and watch on a Roku or on your computer. Ask at your library if they have the service. Another fantastic show I watched on Hoopla was Captain Marleau. Please ignore the goofy art they put on the show title!

Family relations and the cultural frame are the basic virtues of series. This episode is far to be an exception. The basic "spice" - the images. And the effort of son and father to solve the case and to fix their relation. The drops of Alexandre Dumas and the first edition of Count of Monte Cristo are reasonable pieces of game. The acting is good and the levels of tension well crafted. The end, in some measure - expected answer. In short, nice story, nice development of ingredients of it, some seductive flavors of past and the steps of difficult reconciliation. And an editor too seduced by Dumas and succes.
