We were hoping this would be a good one, similar to various Hallmark cozy mysteries. Unfortunately, not so. The acting was questionable. Several of the actors say their lines as if they're in a hurry to get them said, rather than with feeling. The romantic-interest story was way too soon, and seemed to take priority over the murder mystery part. And yes, there are some cops that may act as sarcastic and snarly as the detective in this story, but not most of the ones I know. The uncaring, jump-to-conclusions cops shown in this movie and others is tiring.

The first review that I read gave a strongly worded, mostly negative review...based on inaccurate info. Wasn't this reviewer able to rewind to review a scene that they ended up describing inaccurately, consequently harshly criticizing the show because they, this reviewer on Jan 12, 2025, didn't accurately see or understand how the collision occurred. This other reviewer said that the vehicle collision was head-on with another vehicle. It clearly was not head-on, it was a rear-ender, offset, at that. And yes, an offset rear-end collision could in fact result in the moving vehicle at the rear overturning as shown. Having investigated many traffic collisions, I know this could very well have happened. But the bigger issue is that someone spent a lot of verbiage negatively criticizing a show for the way that they incorrectly remembered the occurrence of a collision, when the dynamics of the collision are immaterial to the story. How she experienced the injuries is irrelevant. The story is about a woman who suffered a TBI, which affected her memory, her life, her profession, personal relationships, etc. It doesn't matter how her injures occurred.

All that being said, I like this show having watched 2 episodes, started the 3rd.

This show is clearly not a "comedy". Yes, there are some light, and occasionally humorous, moments. But that doesn't make any TV show or movie a comedy. The genre labels on IMDB's main page should not include "comedy". The main page also lists the rating as TV-G, which it clearly is not. There are graphic bloody dead bodies, violent assaults, partial nudity, foul language, simulated sex scenes. In S1 E4 all of these occur. And realism: yes, it's a TV show, so we expect some "artistic license" and just plain unrealistic "police procedures", but starting with the very first episode Candice showing up at crime scenes in high heels and a short skirt... C'mon! No, even in France they wouldn't allow that. And after being gone from the job, out of police work for 10 years, starting back at a high-ranking position, commandant, from day one?? Ridiculous, totally unrealistic, not believable. If it was actually a Comedy, a Farce, then these things might be expected.
