Profilage

We love this series. Great cast, characters, location, story, style. The Chloe character charms kind of like Poirot and Monk.

This show centers on the character of criminologist Chloé Saint-Laurent, a young woman whose expertise and unorthodox methods help to solve police cases in Paris. While for the rest we have a standard french police series with the usual amount of crimes and personal life of the police unit members, what makes it unique it's her: goofy, bold, reasoning, she gets the job done her way. I don't think you can remain indifferent to the character: either you like her or not (personally I adore). She earned a place in the long list of eccentric people started, I believe, by Dr. House. The role is played by Odile Vuillemin. Update: season 7 sees the departure of Chloé, substituted by a new profiler, Adèle Delettre, a recurring character in the show. Her approach is very different from Saint-Laurent's and the series takes a more dramatic tone. A bit of sense of humour is missing so I'd give 7/10 to this new "profilage".

We love this show. Got through the end of Season 2 and need to know what happens next. Why are all the seasons not available? Or how about letting us BUY the DVDs. It is terrible to hook people on a show and then not show what happens next. Love the show, do not love IMDb and your messing with us. What is the point of purchasing Amazon Prime, PBS Masterpiece, BritBox, MHZ and IMDb and not able to see all the shows are getting stuck with commercials? Come on guys, help us out here! But you are asking for a rating for 2009-2020 ---- when we are only able to see 2009-2010. The show deserves a 10, but not being able to see all the seasons lowers its benefits and worth!

I'm a fan of procedural so initially I wasn't into the substantial focus on the team's personal dramas. The lead Chloe was unbelievable, annoying and distracting but they play down her flakeyness and she's more mature by season 3. All the actors, including the actor playing Chloe, do an excellent job. The setting is lovely. It's engaging without being gripping (which is good if you're not looking for gripping). The setting is beautiful urban france.

You will love and hate each one of the characters in this series, as you go along! Each script was fantastically presented, written, directed and played! I do so hope that the series will return, you have a great series, I have to know who made it at the end!!!
