Review of Astrid et Raphaëlle

In addition the wonderful opportunity to practice my high school French with subtitles, this layered portrayal of two women detectives is moving and riveting. Astrid is on the autism spectrum but often appears the most human and relatable of the team as she and her female detective buddy, Coste, together solve the latest Parisian murders. Gives me faith that there is more to Paris than the exhausting and ubiquitous rude cafe waiter, of which I have had my fill as an American. Love the respectful, kind sensibility, women who support each other in their intelligence, beauty, power, and personal demons with sensitivity and intelligence, the definition of "normal" debunked for the lie that it is.
