Astrid et Raphaëlle

I've watched other foreign language series; however, this show captures all realms of one's attention & interest. Even my husband, who at first refused to watch a foreign language show, was sucked-in, as the captions are easily read without loosing the visual action.

The description of the show says there are 17 episodes; however, w Walter's Picks from Masterpiece, I have only seen 8. If someone knows how or where to see the other episodes, I would most definitely appreciate it.

It is my favorite show & I continue to watch it week after week. This series is that good.

This has been enlightening and very refreshing. It has opened my eyes to the adult life of a person who is living with autism. I wish there were more episodes to enjoy.

This show is very well written. The mysteries are excellent and are not run of the mill. They take a different path to find the solutions. The journey is very enjoyable. This is a genre I watch a lot of, and this show is clever.

What elevates this show to being above others, is the amazing portrayal of a brilliant autistic criminologist name Astrid and the partnership and friendship she develops with the other lead Detective Raphaëlle Coste.

What is so special to me, is the way they drop these beautiful nuggets of truth and soulful observations.

I have found myself tearing up at the smallest of these interactions because they have a sweetness that you do not see on television shows much.

The two lead actresses are superb. The entire cast is very good. I truly hope this show goes on to have many more seasons. I have watched season one and two, and this is one of my favorite shows.

My dad found this series recently and we are both mesmerised. It shows people with autism beautifully. Not just one side, thinking there's only one version of autism (like a lot of Hollywood productions did and do unfortunately). It depicts different facets, different problems for neurodivergent and for neurotypical people. And how we can live with each other, find compassion and understanding through simple acts of kindness and empathy.

I highly recommend this to everyone!

So far, I have only been able to watch the first series of this amazing series. It centres on the abilities of Astrid, an autistic woman who needs a guardian, and who works in the Criminal Records department of the Paris police. Her autism gives her an encyclopaedic memory of the case files she has read and a fascination with puzzles, both of which she puts to good use in helping seemingly intractable murders.

What I liked most about this series was the ability of Sarah Mortenson to portray the physical attributes of a person with fairly pronounced autism. This, plus the manner in which others learn how to interact with her, and who themselves grow from her presence, made the whole series a delight for me.
