For some reason IMDB thinks this is a reality show. It's not. It's a very well done French police procedural. The title character is somewhere on the spectrum and has spent several years in the police records department. She has spent this time reading the records. And she doesn't forget. This proves a useful talent when she begins to aid a woman police detective to solve quirky crimes. She also knows more medicine than the coroner and is a storehouse of obscure information. Excellent characters, well developed and acted. In French with subtitles. So if polishing your high school French is on your list of things to do.

I can't believe there are no reviews and so few ratings for this show. I've only seen the first episode but that alone is worth the 8 star rating.

The actors (all of them) are talented and charming. I don't speak French, but the actors have great inflections and even though I'm reading the words, the meaning and sensitivity comes through the vocalizations. The characters may not be original (is there anything new under the sun?), but the characters are fresh and interesting nonetheless.

The locations are nice. I'm used to mostly American and Canadian locations, so it's nice seeing a new setting in France.

The direction is spot on, character building is nice. The storyline was nothing mind blowing, but I watch TV for the characters more than the story.

Give this show a try, even if you don't like subtitles, it'll be worth the effort.

Surprised there aren't more reviews. Sweet. Interesting detective series. Autistic sub theme provides depth. Very much enjoying the character development, relationships and plot development. If you like procedural dramas definitely worth checking out.

I guess very few people skim for something new to watch.

I can across this series by accident. Started the first episode and decided to give it a try. I dont mind reading subtitles but others might find it annoying.

The show has an interesting premise: an autistic savant helps the police solve crimes. The actors are good and the characters are interesting. So far, episode one has me intrigued enough to try more episodes.

Another plus, this not the typical male dominated police procedural show. It relies on characters and character development.

So far, episode one has kept my interest and intrigued me enough to want to watch more.
