In Tandem

Commander Lea Soler and Captain Paul Marchal work together in Montpellier police. But they are not only a good police team. They were once married and have teenagers son and daughter, mantaining a good companion relationship. Together with their subordinates leutenant Erwan, medical examiner Franck -who is always trying to date Lea-capitain Sabine,lieutenant Camille and other members of the police station they solve crimes. Interesting cases that do not contain disgusting scenes nor violence, the series benefit of an excellent cast and good sense of humor, including all crew members' relationship, main couple's and their childrens'. Many of the cases shown are related to French regional issues such as ancient castle financial maintenance problems, oysters' breeders or archeological researchers, adding a plus of interest. Recommended.

Paul, maddly in love with Lea, allows her to disdain, embarrass and diminish him in every episode. Paul, if you want her, go and get her or get the yourself out of the picture. You're acting like a sick puppy. I am into the fourth season and I'm so fed up with him I'm that I'm at the point that I'm ready to consign the series to the dust bin.

No police force would allow a a formerly married couple to work in the same unit, much less have one supervise the other. Just dumb. Add 2 irritating kids and weak plots and you get a very mundane show.

It's not a particular taxing show. The plot lines are simple and easy to figure out. But, it's still a fun show that is not a problem for anyone.

Apparently there is a 150 character requirement for no reason. So I'm writing now to meet that requirementvv.

Candace became tiresome after she moved to seaside house. Sleeping with every male in her office, jealousy arising with every superior, can't keep track of her 4 kids and dogs (see first reason listed), changing hair color and getting rid of all her pink stuff and trying to pass off as more "masculine. There was never any time for solving murders.

Here we see a similar plot: French divorce woman commandante, with two kids, and has her ex to boss around (same actor as in Candace). But that's it. The murders are solved by the very competent, likable, funny, secondary characters. Beautiful french scenery. U can't ask for more for easy going summer viewing.
