Un caso francés

Une Affaire Française

Warning: the text at the beginning and end of each episode contains spoilers. Why they did this I cannot imagine.

If this was produced as a fictional drama it would have seen as completely unrealistic and be panned by one and all.

The fact that it is based on a real case is simply shocking.

The bungling ineptitude of so many ranking officials is beyond comprehension: The judge who was more interested in promoting his career than doing his job.

The completely obnoxious and narcissistic journalist who decided who should be charged and did all he could to make it happen. No thought of the consequences, his arrogance was beyond measure.

The city inspector who was only interested in charging somebody and furthering his career.

The rat pack of frenzied journalists. Really, did they behave this way? Shades of the hounding of the Royals in the UK.

This is a drama may have you shouting at the screen at the injustice of it all, it really is that bad.

One aspect that puzzles me was that no investigation appeared to take place in tracing down the letters that Christine was supposed to have post-ed. Surely the postmark on the envelopes, should they be found, have proven which day they were posted on.
