This is a relatively light-hearted French whodunnit TV series (hints of Les Petits Meurtres de Agatha Christie, especially in the production, look, etc) but set against the intriguing backdrop of the growth of television as a power across France and the globe and, more effectively, the messy and indeed very violent end of French occupation in Algeria. It's impossible to imagine a mainstream American show tackling anything like this kind of subject but somehow here (thanks to excellent acting, great direction and some stunning locations brilliantly used) it all comes together in a truly surprising little gem that is well worth a few hours of your lockdown time. Viva la France!
