The ill-assorted detective duo of France 3's crime drama hit Police de caractères returns in February with two 90-minute episodes: Cadavre exquis and Un loup dans la bergerie.
Clémentine Célarié (Lebowitz contre Lebowitz) stars as Louise Poquelin, a blue collar police captain and a mum. Xavier Robic (Tropiques criminels) replaces Joffrey Platel (Demain nous appartient, Riviera) as Lieutenant Étienne de Beaumont, an aristocrat who lives in the family château, loves books and drives a chic vintage car. In Cadavre exquis, ex-cop turned crime author Patrick Varney is killed by an USB key during a literary evening. This is a personal case for Poquelin because of a love story with her former colleague some years ago. Romy Giard, Patrick's publisher, doesn't leave Étienne indifferent. Manon wants to move with her boyfriend and Antoine wants to join the police.
Cadavre exquis is an episode of Magellan (Commissaire Magellan) but slower. The irony is that France 3 axed Magellan to make room for things like Poquelin and De Beaumont. It takes 17 minutes to transform the episode into a festival of Louise's tantrums. Our Captain Marleau on antidepressants is so much the focus of the series — after all the working title of the pilot was Poquelin — that, with a little luck, no one will notice the new face of De Beaumont and they'll just believe he had a shave. The great Nastassja Kinski is quite moving as Romy Giard. Jean-Pierre Michaël (Ici Tout Commence, R.I.S. Police Scientifique) plays Patrick Varney.
