In this cozy and addictive detective series set in Bordeaux, famed French character actor Francis Perrin (Alice Nevers, Le Code) stars as Antoine Mongeville, a gruff yet brilliant former investigating judge who never lets his retirement get in the way of solving a good mystery! Soon, he teams up with the by-the-book Criminal Police investigator Valentine Duteil (Gaëlle Bona, Spiral, Murder In…)¸ and in the course of their work together, his rough edges soften a little… but never too much. Mongeville’s sharp mind is constantly at work, piecing together obscure motives and skewering false alibis. And in two special feature-length episodes, a pair of iconic investigators join forces when Jacques Spiesser (Magellan, Captain Marleau) guest stars as Inspector Simon Magellan, Mongeville’s old friend from his university days!
