Julie Depardieu, Bernard Yerlès and François Berléand in a colorful new episode

There had been the woman entirely covered in gold Goldfinger. There is now the corpse painted in Klein blue from this thirteenth investigation by Alexandre Ehle. Shocking and intriguing image – like this entire explosive series created by Elsa Marpeau (Captain Marleau) and carried, for five seasons, by the truculent charm and machine-gun flow of Julie Depardieu. Literally exposed on the square in front of an art center in Bordeaux, the body of this unknown woman resembles a kind of degenerate work that is as aesthetic as it is morbid. “ Her murderer probably couldn't see her in painting anymore », quips Commander Doisneau (Bernard Yerlès) while revealing the crime scene.

It is up to the craziest forensic doctor on the small screen to understand both the circumstances and the motives of such a crime and such a staging. Alexandra Ehle will have to delve post-mortem into the secrets of the love life of the victim, a local artist who, under the veneer of a happy life, hid past wounds. The investigation, already quite devious, is complicated by the arrival of a new assistant, Imogene (the impeccable Lauréna Thellier, seen notably in Mental). Dressed all in black, as if from something new by the Adams family, the young woman is as dark and psychorigid as Alexandra is sparkling and non-conformist. Above all, she also seems to have things to hide. Just like Alexandra's father (played, with his usual relish, by the priceless François Berléand), who comes to tell her that he is suffering from cancer: with a mythomaniac like him, that said, it is difficult to unravel the truth. fake.
With unexpected twists and clever lines, this new episode plunges Alexandra Ehle into a patchwork of emotions and pretenses to explore all the nuances of the truth.
