The story line is good, but the acting is sometimes too dramatique. Not as good as Spiral, but Canal+ has been doing this type of stuf a lot more than Netflix.
One quibble point: in Episode 4 they show up at a rather strange performance of Puccini's Tosca, ostensibly. After a truncated ending to Act II, where the Tosca and Scarpia are dressed in Venice-style Carnival costumes and masks, they take their bows, and then the "opera" proceeds with Tosca singing "Voi lo sapete, o mamma" from Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. WTF? You would think that this day in age idiocies would be laughed out of a planning meeting, much less approved and aired.
