Anyone else watching this? I watched episodes 1 and 2 and am unsure if I should continue (new episode each week). I love the female lead (Arch) and the working dynamic between her and Fitz, but the crime plots themselves feel too rushed / not well built up. Each episode (only 45 min) solves one crime, so there isn't enough build-up and we don't get to know the suspects well enough. The episodes are linked by running mystery threads though (Gallagher/Villeneuve, the lead duo's past secrets, etc.).
I do enjoy the bilingual dialogue very much (though episode 2 had much less French than episode 1). I recently watched The Tunnel which was also bilingual, and similarly The Missing. I like the smaller scale of Saint-Pierre's location because it has the eeriness of a cosy, picturesque community rocked by big crimes. I just wish the episodes were twice as long, like Midsomer Murders!
