Can we still renew criminal intrigues? This new series succeeds in any case in bringing a welcome lightness to the side of the investigators, an officer and a captain who live together, teasing like the kids they were when they knew each other. A charming and very well played duo.

Dance like a star: “Tribute to Patrick Dupond”
The dancer Paul Marque takes up a series of Studies signed in 1948 by the Dane Harald Lander, in homage to the star Patricck Dupond, who died on March 5, 2021. Yonathan Kellerman / OnP
Appointed star dancer in 1980 and, ten years later, director of the Paris National Opera Ballet, where he succeeded Nureyev, Patrick Dupond was such a media figure that his art has sometimes been forgotten. This rigor and this grace are celebrated through a superb series of choreographies which strengthen the link with the absent person, who disappeared in 2021.
At 9 p.m. on France 4. Ballet filmed at the Palais Garnier in February 2023. Choreography by Maurice Béjart, John Neumeier, Harald Lander. Director: Isabelle Julien. 100 mins. With the Corps de ballet and the Paris Opera Orchestra, conducted by Mikhaïl Agrest. Rebroadcast.
