We ended up binging this French series in one day, after starting tentatively with the first episode to test the waters (we have no love for explicit skin scenes, or volleys of F words, even in the sub-titles, and, well, this is a French show!), as there was no CONTENT guide here at IMDB. We liked the story, and were pleased to only FF over 1 brief scene. We just don't believe that trashy scenes or bad language enhance the production (as Olivier famously remarked, "Why doesn't the boy just try acting?").
Performances were wonderful by all, especially the indomitable Marie Gillain, and the 7-year old youngster at the heart of the mystery, Madeleine (Zelie Rixhon), who is discovered in her family home with 3 family members shot dead.
The investigating officer, Belgarde, is a family man himself (4 kids and expecting), and he recruits Gillain's character, Marie, to house-sit poor traumatized Maddy. Marie agrees, if Belgarde will re-open the suicide case of her own teen daughter, which was ruled 'open-and-shut'.
There are twists and turns, at a fast pace, and wonderful warm interactions between the children, with each other, and the adults in the story (so refreshing after seeing nasty parents, squabbling kids and unfaithful marriage mates). I was able to partly guess the outcome, and, although the premise is gloomy, the result was redeeming for all. 9/10 Thank you, Prime: Can we have more like this?
