Peur sur le lac

Somewhere in here there is the bones of a good drama/thriller but this isn't it. A potentially good and very topical story line is let down by a risible plot and wooden acting by the two principal characters.

If you were ever contemplating committing a crime I'd suggest you head to France as this series would have you believe the French cops are a bunch of bumbling inept clowns. Some of the scenes where suspects manage to evade capture defy belief.

An added problem is the two lead characters couldn't act to save their lives. As lead police officers they lack any credibility. Add in a public prosecutor who wouldn't look out of place on the set of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and who in the middle of a major pandemic is only interested in locating her runaway adopted daughter and you have a plot that stretches the viewer's patience and intelligence.

If you've watched the two earlier series you will probably want to catch this but you won't be missing much if you decide not to bother.

This came out in January 2020. Who would gave believe we would have been living it four months later? Interesting to see how the script writers dealt with the threat of a pandemic and the contrast between fiction and fact. It was only six episodes. Would that the real thing was over as soon.

Sorry to say that I couldn't get on with the third series at all, having quite enjoyed the previous 2. I found it rather rambling and hard to follow and only watched it till the end because I'd already invested so much time in it.

Time again I wouldn't bother

The first 2 "by the lake" series vanished and killer were far better than this! The story line is pretty weak and not very believable! I was very excited when I found a 3rd series was out after really enjoying the first 2 but alas is by far the worst of the 3...watch the 1st 2 but leave the 3rd..you won't miss much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series.. a little slow getting started in reflection I see now that was setting the stage and getting to know the characters.. somewhere in there I was submerged into their reality ... I watched the series through tonight ,, I had that feeling I was there I was in it.. I'm not a pro review writer or anything but I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed this.. of course beautiful location acting top notch and the way it moves towards the end I was deeply moved.. I can't say enough how I appreciate this series I enjoyed it very much thank you!
