Italia47 and Dklecan sum it up rather well. I am in the U. S. and really, no matter English or otherwise, I rely heavily on subtitles, so although it's a bit more of a challenge not speaking/understanding French, I am used to reading subtitles to assist. This series is SO well done, the acting is top notch - ALL supporting actors as well as the two women). I appreciate the exchange of dialogue between Astrid and - anyone really - in addition to the Aspie group meetings which provide so much insight into the point of view that Astrid and other aspies perceive with neurotypicals. The meetings are well incorporated, scripted and directed in such a way that it's not "preachy" or overtly "explaining" but fluidly flows within the context of each episode. The two leads, with whom I am not familiar (due to it airing as a foreign series in the U. S. on PBS) are so well acted and work well and so thoughtfully together. Each episode is unique and engaging and well written. I am really appreciative of PBS to have exposure to a broad and diverse repertoire of European series, but this one in particular is, I hope, continuing for many more seasons to come as I see continued character development and intriguing cases to be solved. I highly recommend.
I've watched other foreign language series; however, this show captures all realms of one's attention & interest. Even my husband, who at first refused to watch a foreign language show, was sucked-in, as the captions are easily read without loosing the visual action.
The description of the show says there are 17 episodes; however, w Walter's Picks from Masterpiece, I have only seen 8. If someone knows how or where to see the other episodes, I would most definitely appreciate it.
It is my favorite show & I continue to watch it week after week. This series is that good.

This has been enlightening and very refreshing. It has opened my eyes to the adult life of a person who is living with autism. I wish there were more episodes to enjoy.
The stories are pretty good. The sensibility and the human element are exceptional. One of the genuinely sweetest things I've ever watched, without ever veering into forced or excessive sentimentality. I can't wait for Season 2.
Good characters that are well developed through each episode. The crimes in each episode were thoughtful and required some good thought to solve. A show well worth watching for those who need the subtitles.

- TriviaElisabeth Mortensen, who plays Mathilde Nielsen, the mother of Astrid, in several episodes throughout the series, is, in fact, the mother of Sara Mortensen, the actress who plays Astrid.
- GoofsUnbelievably, nobody smokes cigarettes in Paris, police, journalists, perps, criminals. Raph certainly would smoke. Astrid probably would smoke, as a calming mechanism. It is Paris after all.
