Murder in Porquerolles

A complicate murder investigation about the death of the painter Lilibeth Carson: the deputy proosecutor Arnaud Tailllard and the police captain Charlie Buckowski must begin with the people who were in the painting exhibition: Michel and Mireille Canovas, Yves Pagès and Nevil (the son of the victim): then they observe the surveillance camara and and discover a local builder called Hicham. Later the parents of Arnaud Taillard are also involved in the investigation: many suspects and a lot of work to investigate their relationships with the victim and to verify their alibis.

I enjoyed the performance of François Vincentelli, Charlie Bruneau, Jean-Marie Juan, Nicole Calfan Erza Muqoli, Didier Flamand, Chrystelle Labaude,Nicolas Abraham and Nader Soufi.

I enjoyed this episode in the Murder In... series. The leads had good chemistry and all the actors were full, well-rounded characters. I enjoy that French television casually shows things that American TV might shy away from: alternative religiion, cancer, non-traditional relationships. There are famous authors portrayed in their roles as everyday people. Also people, especially women, are allowed to age and to show their age.

The fact that I once described François Vincentelli as an incredibly attractive man and here he is only "ok" attests to his acting skills. Here he is knotted and up-tight, a single father trying to solve murders under pressure.

The plot and writing are good and i recommend this show. I watched this show on a streaming service called Hoopla which shows many of the MhZ network shows. It is a service you get through your public library and watch on a Roku or on your computer. Ask at your library if they have the service. Another fantastic show I watched on Hoopla was Captain Marleau. Please ignore the goofy art they put on the show title!
