L'art du crime

More than a crime serie. This is the basic virtue of this admirable work. The second, the beautiful connection between lead actors. But the best part are the dialogues with the artists or the father looking Warhol - like or the passion of art critic or the demons of the cop. A great film , special at whole, giving more than murders or secrets but an inspired architecture of detail.

As a family of artists and art historians, and lovers of mysteries and of Paris (!) this series ticks all the boxes! Nicholas Gob and Éléonore Gosset have such chemistry! Nice well-rounded characters. I first saw Gob in A French Village; he played a very complex character whom you hated, pitied, felt great compassion for...and hated again by turns...so I was excited to see that he would be in this series. So far, all the characters ring true for me. We're bingeing this on MHz, and hoping for season 3!

The acting is superb all around, and the art & history lessons are fascinating whether you are familiar with the art history or not. And you don't need to be an expert because it's really about solving a mystery, contending with new clues, and watching further growth and developments between Captain Verlay and Florence. I have seen both actors in other shows and they are consistently real in every role, excellent actors. The sets are lovely, and every character is just right (tho I could live without Juliette). We just finished binging Season 4, I think it was the best ever, and will wait breathlessly for Season 5.

We stream MHz and found this wonderful French series that is a mystery based on art crime. The very best part of this series, for both of us, is the information the show provides on various artists and paintings. We wish we had some of this information when searching out famous paintings on our visits to the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay. If you enjoy mysteries,and art combined with a learning experience this is géniale (brilliant). We hope MHz will offer all seasons available.

Two people that appear to have nothing in common (but they do) , solve art mysteries and murders in a funny way. Love it!
