This is your typical French series, complete with a lot of shouting, histrionic acting, where every character is deemed to be " fragile" or in "shock. The story unfolds slowly and actually appears to be very drawn out. It could have been told in two episodes, it did not need four. The subplots around the detective's life contributed little to the main story. The real star of the series is the gorgeous alpine scenery which is breathtakingly beautiful. There are some moments of French comedic dialogue in the script, but it just does not translate well enough to cross cultural lines. Overall, it's a weak series that's just too contrived and drawn out.
