I watched this series because of the positive reviews it's had. Big mistake. Crime novels and Crime TV shows are big business these days, so I suppose it's only natural that they're turned into soap opera fodder. Suzanne Clément as the cop whose teenage daughter goes missing is such a drama queen it's embarrassing. As other reviewers have pointed out, there's no way she would be included in this investigation and there's the scene where she punches out a paedophile suspect during an interview. Seriously? Even funnier is when the crooked dad whose daughter's also gone missing storms into the police station with a hunting rifle. Gimme a break. This would've made a decent 90 minute film if they'd cut out all the histrionics. As a 6 part crime drama, it's a joke.
