The transition from the flighty Chloe to the more dramatic Adele was done more-or-less seamlessly and with one exception discussed later, Juliette Roudet was extremely skillful in portraying the range of emotions tied to her character.
The supporting cast held their own, even with occasional thin material. Phillipe Bas was an extremely credible detective, and Raphael Ferret had an understated comic talent.
When the series at least partially stayed on the cerebral side, it was worthwhile viewing. Then the writers fell into a common trap--inventing the mysterious and elusive arch villain--the French Hannibal Lector. They managed to walk the fine line between credibility and comic book portrayals until the last episode, when it all fell apart. The attempt to fashion another series of episodes was clumsy and eroded the story arc it was trying to preserve.
