It was shown on Britbox in Feb/March this year, I haven't watched as don't have a subscription but the reviews are online.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/07/2022 21:14

Saw the title and rightly guessed you , @Blondeshavemorefun was the OP.
Once again I won't get to see it as it goes out on ITV and for some reason Virgin TV in Ireland doesn't give us ITV but will probably have the show on 6 weeks later than ITV 🙄
JoyDivisionOvenGlovesx · 17/07/2022 09:54
Ooh I’ve seen two of these on Britbox, really enjoyed them.
This isn’t a spoiler, but I found it quite funny that everyone has very very French names, all pronounced in a very very French way, but every other word is English. It works, just a bit funny when an obvious Mancunian goes full on with the French pronunciation.

We tried this when it was on Britbox , mainly because we really like Nancy Carroll but unfortunately this didn’t work for us at all .
MsMcGonagall · 17/07/2022 11:56
I think it's 8pm tonight not 9pm. Thanks OP looking forward to giving it a try
Notonthestairs · 17/07/2022 11:58
We are fans of Roger Allam so will definitely watch.
Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2022 18:40
Sorry yes it’s on at 8 and 9 on +1
sorry for Confusion
lazymum99 · 17/07/2022 20:16
The ultra English accents are hysterical. Interspersed with French sounding names
Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2022 20:45

Tourist29 · 17/07/2022 20:50
Not loving the style or characters so far, hope it improves
GCAcademic · 17/07/2022 20:51
The script is terrible.
mum2jakie · 17/07/2022 20:52
I watched the first episode when I had a Britbox episode and thought it was really dull!
gingercat02 · 17/07/2022 20:54
Gave up after 20mins. Really slow. Was hoping for Death in Paradise or the Mallorca Files but in France
LittleBirdWeeps · 17/07/2022 20:56
We tried it as we love Roger Allum but it just felt so odd and fake, couldn't get on with it at all.
Shame as he's usually only ever in good things!
Namechangehereandnow · 17/07/2022 21:03
I don’t understand why all names are French yet they all speak in normal English accents?! Very annoying!
lazymum99 · 17/07/2022 21:06
Except the one Italian bloke who speaks English with an Italian accent!
gogohmm · 17/07/2022 21:38
Not sure, the lines especially roger allams are not natural and why would two very senior people be doing the running around
OneFrenchEgg · 17/07/2022 21:43
It's a bit rubbish. I don't really like gentle murder type stuff. I love roger allam. He's capable of so much more.
hockeygrass · 17/07/2022 21:55
At least we didn't spend a Britbox subscription in order to watch this earlier this year (as my parents did)!
