Compared to the array of brilliant French TV shows which you can watch these days, this series doesn't stand out as anything remarkable. It is not terrible, but the weaknesses really show while you watch.

Firstly, there are too many far-fetched situations which defy the spectator's credibility. The storyline is frankly implausible, and nothing really happens that way in real life, not once but twice! Every single character has an implausible behaviour and there is no rationality or sense behind their actions. I will not go into detail here for spoiler reasons, but it happens every ten minutes.

The performances are very lame, without real talent; all of the actors seem to consider that performing art consists of making obvious faces. I didn't find Julie de Bona outstanding at all; on the contrary, I couldn't believe her acting in any of the six episodes. The same goes for the implausible inspector, whose terminal illness comes and goes without any explanation or justification in the story. A transfer would have been a more credible situation.

In short, this show will not leave a lasting mark in French or police procedural TV records. It is quite mediocre and hard to believe, and you could devote six hours of watching time to much better productions in the genre.

This was a well balanced mini-series, the plot was told evenly over the series keeping the content refreshing with enough to keep your attention without sinking into a sea of information.

The actors were excellent though the roles of Roxanne played by Julie De Bona stood out along with Alma her teenage daughter played by Laura Genovino, which is saying something amongst a pretty fine group of actors .

Each episode was fairly evenly spread with suspense, plot twist and development, emotions, romance,some action, with the highest amount first on the list :) I enjoyed every episode individually and if I were to sum it up; its like a high death rate Agatha Christie, intense but never gratuitous. I would recommend a watch.

... kinda-lightly-tolerable up to E5 then-got-stupid.. then-more-stupid ... yet since you're hours in already, might as well go finish what's to be obvious in E6 ... as for dumbness E6 is in a league all its-own ... it's actually quite comical how idiotic it is

... it's not all in the writing as in addition most performances are weak ... definitely w/o De Bona would not have watched it at all.

Good story, with interesting twists and turns, and the narrative covers lots of ground in an economical but focused way, respecting the viewer's time and intelligence. It sure kept me guessing as to who dunnit! The relationships are well fleshed out and not just slap-dashed-by-lazy-writing. This is an excellent thriller.
