Seasons 1-3
French police procedural featuring Raphael Balthazar (the medical examiner) and Helene Bach (police captain). Balthazar is a massively talented and massively arrogant person who somehow comes across as fun and lovable. He know just how far to push is superiority on others. And he IS generally right. The two leads have a love/hate relationship where they grow into a mutual respect and need for each others talents and emotional support. Overlay this with the trauma of Balthazar having lost his girlfriend to a serial murder a decade ago, but still not recovered. Especially since the man convicted is not the killer and Balthazar regular sees and speaks to his "clients" including his girlfriend, we are regularly confronted with the trauma. Enjoyable characters, with the requisite odd-ball supporting cast thrown in to mix things up.
