Astrid et Raphaëlle (serial)

Season 1

French odd-couple / buddy-cop procedural. Raphaëlle is a police commander in the crime squad and Astrid works in the Criminal Records division as an archivist. Raph is brash, a rule breaker and messy (stereotypical TV detective). Astrid is autistic, loves puzzles and organization. When Astrid is discovered (by Raph) to be a brilliant criminologist by way of her attention to detail and vast collection of historical crimes remembered from her scanning of documents, the two are increasingly interacting on high profile homicides. The cases are interesting, and the development of the relationship and growth in each of them in understanding the other is well worth watching. 

4 stars (out of 5)
