Well, it's French, so keep your hand on the FF button. En France, they like the females pretty and willing, but Martin, our Chief Investigator learns that it's not so easy to juggle 3 girlfriends, and then try to 'settle down' with one. This is the backdrop to the bizarre cases he has to solve. In the second episode, we are confronted with a vicious cold-blooded female killer who is working from a list of people she needs to eliminate. She is also pretty, wealthy, married to a diplomat, and has powerful friends-this makes her a difficult target, even when Martin & Co. Figure her out. Real twist ending!
Episode 3 was stunning. Several blond females are abducted & disappear over a period of time, but the most recent is drugged, questioned & left alive by the culprit. Some similar cases are catalogued and the hunt for the guilty party begins. One of the surviving husbands begins an affair with Martin's pretty blond assistant. Soon, a bizarre link unfolds that requires many trips and re-interviewing of relatives & colleagues. You won't guess this one, I assure you. Very unique sequences tie this one together. Reminds me, in style, of the Brit series AMNESIA, which found a terrific way to pull the rug from under you.
In Euro series, we don't get the bland characters & cardboard endings of U. S. mystery entries. Time is spent developing these very human characters, but not at the expense of suspending plot progression. I thought I knew all the tricks of these Euro scripts, but this one has me reeling.
