Fidgeted through two episodes with an increasingly sinking feeling of deja-vu, and sure enough, a check on the web tells me this is a remake of Marcella. A remake. A remake??? Of one of the worst crime dramas of recent decades??? I would have to be out of my mind (like Marcella? Like Rebecca?) to sit through eight hours of this crap again. I could not change the channel fast enough! Fidgeted through two episodes with an increasingly sinking feeling of deja-vu, and sure enough, a check on the web tells me this is a remake of Marcella.

what did I just watch?

So, I did not watch Marcella. Let that be known.
This show started off well with all the necessary elements that kept me intrigued. The show takes its time, exploring seemingly irrelevant sub-plots, all which give you the impression that they will have meaning. Everything was set to go well by episode 8, but then it absolutely derails. My frustration with the pace of the show is at its height, but I'm preparing myself for a big payoff. But the payoff never comes. Instead we're forced to watch Rebecca officially lose her mind, and act in ways we don't get the chance to reconcile. Meanwhile, key elements of the plot are left unresolved. We're left to wonder:
-are the police ever going to find out who moved Letitia's body?
-who was blackmailing Julien?
-what about matthieu lorrain? Is he still wasting away in that basement?
-why was there a scuff on Rebecca's car?
-do the police see through julien's lies?
-when did marco become some black market, deep web, cop for hire?
-how did she rebecca her own death?
-why did raf deserve to get beat over the head?
Hello? These are major plot points? Can anyone help? Anyone??
1/10.

C'est toujours la même chose

Rebecca and Marcella, what a duet! A reasonable good crimen story turns into a drama nobody cares, just because the women in charge of the investigations are both haunted by their own demons and end up living as bums under bridges or so. Then, the main plot remains full of holes and unanswered questions, as time is wasted on their dark tragic past, mistakes and absurd choices. We do not know if Rebecca died, apparently not. Anyway, I will skip a second season as I did with Marcella's third. I should have followed my instinct to avoid watching this (even if it deserves
a slight better rating than Marcella). My mistake.
