Cat's Eyes on TF1 is strangely linked to the Count of Monte Cristo

On paper, nothing predestined the three sisters of Cat’s Eyes to meet the Comte de Monte Cristo. However, the TF1 series does indeed have a link with the historical film, which stars Pierre Niney in the main role, as noted by Télé-Loisirs.

Le Comte de Monte Cristo Would he have enjoyed running across the rooftops of Paris to escape the police? In any case, the Chamade sisters of Cat’s Eyes clearly inherited his love of disguise. And against all expectations, the characters of these two works of fiction share much more than a gift for disappearing behind wacky costumes. Télé-Loisirs thus noted that the historic 2024 film with Pierre Niney has two other points in common with the TF1 series, which is currently a hit on the channel during its weekly broadcasts, every Monday evening.
