Best Episode of the Seasons Available on Prime (4-6)

I just started watching "Paris Murders" on Amazon and something about this show just keeps drawing me back in. It's most likely the two leads, who have good chemistry, and in particular Chloe, who is funny and sympathetic. But this particular episode, which shifts back and forth from present day to 1945, is an absolute hoot. The banter between her as a psychiatrist and Rocher as the police captain in 1945 is wild, and the costumes/cars are great as well (well, I'm a senior so I guess am predisposed to this sort of stuff).

Is the plot good? I don't really know, I just sat back and enjoyed what happens when Rocher lets Chloe accompany him to interview the wife of the victim. She plays dumb and at the same time shows who's the smarter of the two.

As good as it gets

I want to join "nkleinberg" in singling out this standout episode of a deservedly successful franchise. After a lifetime of noirs and WWII films, I find this satire of those delicious.

I can't get enough of the irrepressible Ms. Vuillemin. (Too bad her work is so scarce in the Anglophone world.) Her character is somewhere between Astrid and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo--with haute couture added in.

Too infrequently do filmmakers make the best use of collector cars. In this episode, the commendably authentic four-wheeled co-star is a 1938 Citroën Traction Avant 11 B. (A similar looking larger version was produced thru 1957. That could have been palmed off by less discriminating filmmakers.)
