Season 2
Season 2. Wonderful, so funny...
The characters are very characteristic, with fun, the inspector is somewhat dog but in a funny way. The journalist a modern woman and the secretary is so suite. Congratulations.
Ooh La La - a classic crime show \o/
This show sets the perfect mood for intrigue, mystery and entertainment.
Agatha Christie's works have inspired many iterations on film, although "the usual suspects" are most often repeated (Death on the Nile, etc.). So, it's not just "new" stories that are presented here, but the crimes are solved by a new set of characters who bring lots of playful dynamic to the mix.
Of the 1950's episodes - while the first two seasons very well establish the era and tone, the series really hits its stride in seasons 3 & 4. With increased confidence, everyone brings more layered nuance to the storytelling.
Overall, the production values are extremely well delivered. A special shout out to set dressers, costume and make-up. And the soundtrack engages with suspense and mischief, and perfectly balances the actors' and editors' comedic timing.
Of the performers, my personal favorite is Elodie Frenck as the divine Marlene. She's sexy, funny, the perfect blend of subtlety and charm, and occasional well-placed gaucherie, making this character irresistibly adorable.
Well cast, the other actors bring dynamic energy to their roles in unique ways.
J'adore!

Magnifique !
The other reviews say it all. I am a longtime Christie fan and love these humorous, clever, modern adaptations. Yes, some artistic liberties have been taken, but all the better to set it apart from other versions. See this link for the complete list of episodes. You'll see that Set 1 only includes 7 of the 29 already produced episodes. Neither does Set 1 contain the first 7 episodes, but skips down the list. I can hardly wait to see what comes next, but it appears that Set 1 is the only version released in the US. S'il vous plaît, hurry with subsequent sets!
Fantastic series
Amazing casting and production. Attention to detail is very impressive...and what about the era cars? Wow
The interpretation of Agatha Christie's stories is unique with french flair.
What a treat to watch .
impressive
First, for the answer to expectations. Because it is a real smart serie. Preserving the spirit of Agatha Christie, giving a seductive chain of stories and beautiful performances.And proposing an interesting humor and few clever used taboos. Commisaires and women. Cases and wise manner to solve them. Especially, the French flavor gives seduction to each episode. The result - almost fascinating, surrely charming.

- Crazy creditsDuring the closing credit sequence in the first two episodes of the series, dialogue quotes from the episode, spoken by Larosière and Lampion, are replayed over the music. Beginning with the third episode, however, there are no longer any spoken lines heard over the end credits - the only audio is the theme music.
