After suffering through Riviera, I then detoxed myself with solid nordic noir, then tartan noir and happily happened upon Les Ombres Rouges. Loved it, truly great characters, solid acting, terrific cinematography (not that I can really tell, but I hate those jumping cameras, and at last was able to enjoy the show without a migraine attack). Good script, well performed by the cast and of course I adore the French accents and language. Don't understand the negative reviews, perhaps Anglo Saxon dyspepsia, but as a Scot, I just loved this series!
