The plot has a lot going on, to the point that it really defies credibility. The cops make a lot of infuriatingly stupid mistakes. And I know a lot of people loved her but I couldn't stand Lucie. Despite the series's many flaws, I would suggest it's worth watching even if only for the incomparable performance of Carole Bouquet. The range she brings to the character of Jeanne is stunning. I'm in awe of an actress who can chill my bones, scare the piss out of me, then make me almost cry. (I probably would have had my nerves not been shot from watching the whole series in a day.) She's utterly mesmerizing.
