Candice Renoir

Really engaging show with interesting plots; lovely setting in the south of France. Candice is charming and smart; her character is warm and likable and you care about her. She's more than able to take care of herself in crime situations or at work with a bitchy boss. And her work and home lives are complicated, messy, and believable. The supporting cast are very good, and the often snarky, funny dialogue (captions) support their diverse team relationships. The team wasn't sure about Candice at first, but then...

So this isn't as stylish as Call My Agent - after all it's not Paris - but the topics are current and the stories are stand-alone good. Someone mentioned that it's nice to get away from the grey, foreboding, gloom of Brit crime shows; that's true. Candice Renoir can take you to an area of France quite different from Paris or Cannes.

It would be great to have more than the 3 series offered now, maybe that will happen, supposedly there are 8 seasons.

Finally detective series with some humor and overall optimistic. And NO super science power, NO magic autopsy labs or experts, NOTHING gross. It's such a refreshing sip of water compared to all the dark grey depressive detective series currently released. And yes, there are some other detective series which "should be funny", but none of those have made me laugh out loud, cover my eyes and smile or watch 2 seasons in a row, nearly skipping night sleep. In other words - I'm a fan!

I really like this series, Acorn has 4 seasons with subtitles... and there are 10 complete seasons with an 11th in the works as far as I have read. Candice is a unique and bright character who not only has to deal with her children, her job and some of its frustrations, but her personal life and all the changes that divorce brings. Her relationships with her co workers are well put together. Especially her relationship with Antoine Dumas. They both do an exceptional job of letting the viewer understand their emotions even without knowing the language! I have been frustrated I couldn't find any more seasons with English subtitles especially when they are available with French, German, and Portuguese dubbing. Please Acorn add them all!

I love this series. I managed to binge-watch both seasons in 3 days. The cast is wonderful, every single one of them. I was afraid when the first pathologist left, I wouldn't like the replacement. Wrong! The humor isn't forced, but makes you laugh aloud. No, the police work isn't the best, but who really cares. This is much more about the people than anything else.

I know that 8 seasons of Candice Renior were made. Acorn is only showing two of them now. Step it up, Acorn. I really want to see the other six.

Here in the states I actually look for foreign detective shows with English CC. The reason the characters are more fleshed out which becomes a greater understanding for how things develop. We see Candice at work, at home and dealing with her kids. Real life is messy and in particular her career. Just because she likes to look good, has sense of humor and displays a quick wit isn't a reason to dismiss her.

I watch TV mystery and detective shows to be enteretained and this moment it time I like to watch a detective series where a Mom with 4 kids, thrust back into work with a goup that doesn't want nor support her can still smile.
