Trivia
Both Roger Allam and Keala Settle have sung major roles in productions of Les Misérables.

Goofs
The injury to the murder victim, George's Moutte, was described as being in the right temple, a weak area of the skull where four bones meet, but in the scene where the murder is shown happening he was struck in the frontal bone, high up on the curve of the skull, a very strong area of he skull.

Quotes
Marine Bonnet: That was the longest pee anyone's ever had in the history of peeing.
Antoine Verlaque: I used to just lift the lid and pee like a horse. Now it's like effing Morse code. Dot-dot-dash-dash. Be there all night.

Who killed Professor Georges Moutte that's the question facing Antoine and Marine, and the reason why their vacation has been cancelled.

Another Britbox exclusive, it's good to see productions like this arriving there.

Overall, this was a good watch, for me it felt like a modern day Maigret, a glorious location, an interesting crime, and some well realised characters.

Both Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll are incredibly well known for crime dramas, Endeavour and Father Brown respectively, this was altogether a different kettle of fish. Both were excellent here.

I thought it started and ended very well, I thought the middle section was a little slow in parts. There is definitely some quality here, and I look forward to seeing the other two. An engaging enough mystery to begin the series.

Solid, 7/10.
