Candice Renoir

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.

Finally detective series with some humor and overall optimistic. And NO super science power, NO magic autopsy labs or experts, NOTHING gross. It's such a refreshing sip of water compared to all the dark grey depressive detective series currently released. And yes, there are some other detective series which "should be funny", but none of those have made me laugh out loud, cover my eyes and smile or watch 2 seasons in a row, nearly skipping night sleep. In other words - I'm a fan!

It's funny in subtle ways. It's serious about the crime. I like that It's not full of blood and guts. The cast is perfect. As a mom, I can totally relate to Renoir's domestic delimmas interfering with work, and work interfering with her home life. I watch on Amazon Prime with subtitles. I highly recommend this show.

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!

Attaching characters, this police series is light and comic. Candice is a modern mom with an active love life. Yet, she is a police investigator with great talent...a sort of Columbo in high heels.
