Disappointing, compared to French TV's Spiral and The Bureau. This show re-uses every thumping cliche about child sexual abuse. It's a lazy premise. In addition, it is sad to see the actress Mule made to look silly. In The Bureau (what a terrific show) she was a smart, empathetic and dignified police officer. In this show she wears some kind of ridiculous head-dress or hairstyle, like a low-rent Aida. I can't look without laughing at her. The head-dress spoils any scene she's in.
On the show's positive side, the atmospherics of rain, wind and trees are good. Nice portrait of western France. Sharp, well-thought-out photography. The acting is all right.
