I have an autism/Asperger's diagnosis. This was the most incorrect, horrendous, depiction of autism that I have ever seen. We are not crazy. We do not require admission to an asylum. We are not naturally violent. Perhaps the French are behind the rest of the world. This was so incredibly offensive that I could not watch another second of it. Perhaps the series itself is OK. I will never know. I love, police and procedural criminal drama. This seemed like it would be great to add to my library. How could anyone get all of this so absolutely wrong? Did they do no research, did they not speak to anyone with knowledge of autism? Evidently not.

Like one reviewer I was appalled at the depiction of asperbergers and lack of knowledge of autism. This show takes place in 2019. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would have known this. Anyone with Wikipedia would have known this. Since 1988 I have had 5 students on the spectrum pass my English composition classes-and I am a demanding but supportive professor. Theses students all went onto a major university. There is no excuse for this ignorance.

Beyond that, this is an incredibly bad detective show-and I've watched a numbers of these and have a basic understanding of the French system. The judge is involved with a thief. They all want him to get out for the sake of the family with little consideration for the victims. Incredible. This is an unrealistic romance and should be labeled such.

Just so you know.
