Criminal: Francia

Criminal germany is outstanding. Criminal france should learn some lessons. Get better scripts and actors.

It's interesting enough, and the setup is the same as the UK version: separate cases with a suspect in the interrogation room. But the French version of Criminal lacks the subtlety of the UK version, as do the Spanish and German versions. Besides, the acting isn't as good as in Criminal: UK.

So out of the 4 identical police stations and resources. 3 episodes each and 4 different teams criminal: France struggled to keep up with its competitors with a weaker casting and perhaps a more bizarre storyline going on behind the secene of the said criminals etc.

You are left scratching your head because you believe one thing as happened then all of a sudden it's changed again.

However , the 3rd episode of the French set is one of the top 3 of them all and maybe on any given day the best so instead of a 7 it gets a 9 .

THIS happened to be the 4th I watched , i completed all 12 in 3 sittings. Very good viewing all round and a Netflix Original, please don't dump it after 1 series .

Just like the German, Spanish and English versions this series is unbelievably good and it's just a shame that the episodes are so short and few. Hopefully they'll develop the concept into a longer series as we're only just getting to know the characters by the end of episode 3.

Great casting and storyline and eminently suitable for adaptation to the stage.

I think after watching all the four countries, I would rate France the least , I mean someone had to come 4th! If you watch France first, no doubt you'll be mind blown but after watching UK and other nations , you can identify the flaws and drawbacks of the French cast but still a brilliant series by Netflix.
