Regular readers know I’ve reviewed dozens of streaming TV series from a number of European countries over the past few years. The light-hearted cop show, “Deadly Tropics (Tropiques Criminels)”, based in an idyllic (other than the requisite murders and assorted felonies) Caribbean locale has been one of my favorites.

Season One of this light procedural from French TV, “Deadly Tropics” (“Tropiques Criminels”), was released for streaming and covered here last month, on Mar. 21. The “Deadly Tropics” Season One review and favorable recommendation, which remains useful for appreciating this second eight-episode season, can be found by scrolling through “Reviews” to that date.
Welcome back. Your indulgence is appreciated. Now that you’ve either been reminded or brought up to date, Season Two opens with Gaelle (Beatrice de la Boulaye) returning from a long self-imposed hiatus while nursing some emotional wounds. Melissa’s (Sonia Rolland) teenagers are still a pain in the butt; same, in a different way for their grumpy, misogynistic commissioner, who gripes far more than he contributes.

For U.S. viewers to know what’s coming in the French TV crime series “Deadly Tropics” (“Tropiques Criminels”), let’s start with the components of Lethal Weapon as a baseline. First, change lead characters Riggs and Murtaugh into women. Then move the whole production from L.A. to Martinique, with most of the dialog in French. Tone down the violence considerably but keep most of the character comedy, and you’re prepped for an entertaining set of self-contained whodunit episodes in a gorgeous island setting.
We begin with Parisian police transfer Captain Melissa Sainte-Rose (Sonia Rolland), essentially banished to the Caribbean with her two kids for her fellow-officer hubby’s corruption that tainted her own previously-stellar reputation. She’s to...
