Candice Renoir

I really like this series, Acorn has 4 seasons with subtitles... and there are 10 complete seasons with an 11th in the works as far as I have read. Candice is a unique and bright character who not only has to deal with her children, her job and some of its frustrations, but her personal life and all the changes that divorce brings. Her relationships with her co workers are well put together. Especially her relationship with Antoine Dumas. They both do an exceptional job of letting the viewer understand their emotions even without knowing the language! I have been frustrated I couldn't find any more seasons with English subtitles especially when they are available with French, German, and Portuguese dubbing. Please Acorn add them all!

Here in the states I actually look for foreign detective shows with English CC. The reason the characters are more fleshed out which becomes a greater understanding for how things develop. We see Candice at work, at home and dealing with her kids. Real life is messy and in particular her career. Just because she likes to look good, has sense of humor and displays a quick wit isn't a reason to dismiss her.

I watch TV mystery and detective shows to be enteretained and this moment it time I like to watch a detective series where a Mom with 4 kids, thrust back into work with a goup that doesn't want nor support her can still smile.

It's funny in subtle ways. It's serious about the crime. I like that It's not full of blood and guts. The cast is perfect. As a mom, I can totally relate to Renoir's domestic delimmas interfering with work, and work interfering with her home life. I watch on Amazon Prime with subtitles. I highly recommend this show.

I was in the mood for a series that was somewhat light, but which would keep my interest. This police procedural - too often they are heavy and dark - but with some humor, fit the bill perfectly. I love that this police captain's subordinates keep playing her for a blonde bimbo idiot, but she's always 2 or 3 steps ahead of them. I also find Cecile Bois (who plays Candice) to have a mesmerizing face (somewhat chameleon in the sense of constantly changing appearance -just my opinion- and a very likeable - and intelligent - personality). Finally persuaded my wife to watch and she also loves it. So this is my 2nd time through all 5 seasons. We'd like to see Acorn air additional Cecile Bois movies and series in their lineup. Just a superb actress (as is the whole cast in this series).

To everyone outside of Europe: this is not your average police show, it's, as the title suggests, a show about a woman called Candice Renoir who happens to be a police detective and a mother of four. She's quirky, colorful, chaotic and very skilled at her job. She's also trying to live her life after the divorce from her charming cheat of a husband. She succeeds, trips and falls. She learns and moves on. That's the secret of this show for me: you see her grow, scars included, warts and all. It's not always pleasant for her, but a treat to watch for the excellent cast and a scenery that's to commit a crime for.
