Fun, French frivolity!
I tried to watch the recent US version and found it just annoying. The lead is nowhere near as interesting and suited to the task as Audrey Fleurot.
This one, the original is engaging, fun, well cast and hits the right notes to make the premise work well. Audrey Fleurot is marvelous, I can't help thinking the role was created for her. The character is all chaos and charm. I often laugh out loud (which i don't always do watching TV comedies) at the interactions between her and her male lead, "Karadec" who, as her opposite has chosen (& was cast...?) to go subtle and introverted. It's a terrific dynamic that works really well. The attraction between the characters is fun to watch amongst all the crime cases as well. In the US version, even after seeing 2 episodes, I can't remember the male lead at all.
I'll miss watching this when it ends after Season 5 (I believe).
I've seen some other series bought by the US (from the UK mostly) that come nowhere near the level of the original. The original is pretty much always far more worth the time.
