Le temps est assassin

This starts as a normal murder mystery then suddenly goes haywire. Corsican mafia, feuds, family crypts, a mute, woman imprisoned for 20 years miraculously escapes, corrupt police, secret children, affairs and the most hilarious moment when the escaped abductee falls off a cliff. The families are all dysfunctional, for example a weird witch grandmother beating her disabled grandson, a father and mother hating their daughter in law because she is not Corsican. Not sure why this got made unless it is some surreal comedy. Mediocre karaoke singing throughout, average acting but fabulous scenery - a Corsican tourism special.

We watched this on Channel 4's Walter Presents where it is shown under its English name of ''Time Is A Killer'.

We thought the story was intriguing and certainly had some plot twists along the way. We found that, in general, the acting was good and certainly showed how beautiful Corsica is.

European series certainly have a different style to American ones so it makes a pleasant change to watch them.

Highly recommended.

We have watched four episodes. It is so slow, you lose your train of thought. Thierry Goddard is under utilized. They never show the rescue at the car accident. Wait until the first season is over, whenever that is, to binge watch. If you intend to waste your time. Otherwise, you will spend most of each episode trying to figure out what you missed from previously.

So far, there are 11 episodes posted. If there are more, do not know.

I rarely write a review as not a critic.

But this is truly atrocious from beginning to end, I know it's from TF1, but still. It's so cringing how truly bad this série is

The cast - the "acting" - the actors - the script - and the so called make up - are all as bad as each other

I had to watch it until the end, but this is time completely and utterly wasted which I will never have back,

I have watched one episode so far and may not watch more of them. Many of the characters look too young e.g. Clo's grandfather looks just about old enough to be her father and the retired police detective looks younger than he did 25 years earlier. Although Natale's hair and beard have been sprinkled with a bit of talcum powder he, too, does not look as if he has aged by 25 years. The singing is a bit embarrassing too.
