Murder in Aveyron (2014 TV Movie)
3/10
Beautiful But Silly
19 May 2022
Yes, France is beautiful but - having been to France several times and appreciating its natural beauty, well reflected in this fictional TV crime/romance series filmed all over the gorgeous place, I have to say that I find "Murder In" mysteries irritating and too easy to solve - but most MHz viewers including my husband love it so we've watched many episodes which follow the same formula but with an ever-changing cast: two detectives who can't stand each other and/or who have troubled pasts are thrown together to investigate so they start by arguing after a body has been found to have been ritualistically killed; second, there is an obscure local legend involving a medieval crypt or a pirate myth or storybook tale known only to one of the detectives plus of course the modern homicidal maniac imitating the obscure legend. Third, the arguing duo will soon be sleeping together because - voila! - this is France! Oh, and one of the detectives, after a long day of arguing and investigating and love-making, might find the time and energy to make a slow-cooking local dish Julia Child probably never heard of.
