Candice Renoir

I was in the mood for a series that was somewhat light, but which would keep my interest. This police procedural - too often they are heavy and dark - but with some humor, fit the bill perfectly. I love that this police captain's subordinates keep playing her for a blonde bimbo idiot, but she's always 2 or 3 steps ahead of them. I also find Cecile Bois (who plays Candice) to have a mesmerizing face (somewhat chameleon in the sense of constantly changing appearance -just my opinion- and a very likeable - and intelligent - personality). Finally persuaded my wife to watch and she also loves it. So this is my 2nd time through all 5 seasons. We'd like to see Acorn air additional Cecile Bois movies and series in their lineup. Just a superb actress (as is the whole cast in this series).

To everyone outside of Europe: this is not your average police show, it's, as the title suggests, a show about a woman called Candice Renoir who happens to be a police detective and a mother of four. She's quirky, colorful, chaotic and very skilled at her job. She's also trying to live her life after the divorce from her charming cheat of a husband. She succeeds, trips and falls. She learns and moves on. That's the secret of this show for me: you see her grow, scars included, warts and all. It's not always pleasant for her, but a treat to watch for the excellent cast and a scenery that's to commit a crime for.

I love this series. I managed to binge-watch both seasons in 3 days. The cast is wonderful, every single one of them. I was afraid when the first pathologist left, I wouldn't like the replacement. Wrong! The humor isn't forced, but makes you laugh aloud. No, the police work isn't the best, but who really cares. This is much more about the people than anything else.

I know that 8 seasons of Candice Renior were made. Acorn is only showing two of them now. Step it up, Acorn. I really want to see the other six.

Here in the states I actually look for foreign detective shows with English CC. The reason the characters are more fleshed out which becomes a greater understanding for how things develop. We see Candice at work, at home and dealing with her kids. Real life is messy and in particular her career. Just because she likes to look good, has sense of humor and displays a quick wit isn't a reason to dismiss her.

I watch TV mystery and detective shows to be enteretained and this moment it time I like to watch a detective series where a Mom with 4 kids, thrust back into work with a goup that doesn't want nor support her can still smile.

I'm watching Candace Renoir season 2 on Acorn in the United States. Acorn only offers two season but this show has 8 seasons. Where can I watch Seasons 3 to 8? I like the Actors and the way the shows are written! Great show!
