The Mountain Detective

I happened upon this series when Amazon suggested it based on our viewing history and it's really enjoyable.

The flow is comfortable, not a lot of action, but the action is appropriate. I like the cast; they look like every day people for the most part and their characters are like people we've all met. Nobody is setting out to be a hero, they just deal with whatever they have to do and get on with it all and that's it.

The scenery is spectacular though ; filming takes place in the Alps in Provence and will stun you!

Great scenery, good plots and actors and original music that suits it all.

Try fabulous scenes of the French Alp's, decent plots, and great characters. It's not complicated, but I enjoyed this series very much!

The main actors are complete and the boss cop is a woman, a plus in my book.

What an excellent series!! Storylines are intense and not always predictable! Characters are enjoyable. The scenery is incredible. Hope to have access to the next season. Will it be available on PBS Masterpiece streaming app?

After watching the first six episodes on Prime,, I'm ready to watch season 2. To be honest, two shows in season 1 were pretty awful and had a totally different feeling, but the other episodes were so good I stuck with it. The basic premise is that the lead character was an urban cop in Marseille and had his fill of the city life, particularly as it pertained to his line of work. He and his new colleagues at the extremely casual rural police station are quite believable and dedicated get neither respect nor cooperation from the citizenry, but the keep plugging away. For viewers who aren't quite fluent in French, most characters in the series speak fairly clearly and free of difficult regional dialects.

This film is part of a series titled Alex Hugo on IMDb but The Mountain Detective on Prine and PBS. Somehow this episode has been given the original title and is out of order. I hope IMDb can fix this.

It is an excellent series. The main character, Alex Hugo, is a retired policeman who moved to a mountainous area and assists the police in that area. He also works with some agents who work fighting terrorism. The scenery is extraordinarily beautiful. I'm not sure where it was filmed but I'd sure like to go there. The acting is very, very good. And the episodes I've seen deal with issues that are contemporary and significant today. I love this series.
