Astrid and Raphaëlle : What awaits you in the episodes of November 8, 2024

Season 5 ofAstrid and Raphaëlle opens with a double episode in which the two heroines will find themselves caught in the middle of a spy affair. It all begins with the murder of a woman sitting on a bench, killed by a poisoned dart. Very quickly, Astrid and Raphaëlle understand that they will have to navigate through troubled waters because the French and American secret services are up to their necks involved. For the weeks to come, the intrigues will lead them in turn to a Buddhist community, to Mormons or even to the horse racing world. The two investigators will not be left out in terms of private life, since, as a reminder, Raphaëlle is pregnant with Nicolas (Benoît Michel) and Astrid is preparing for the departure of Tetsuo (Kengo Saito).

Astrid and Raphaëlle : Should you watch the new season 5?

With the cliffhangers launched at the end of season 4, there is no doubt that the wait was long to discover the rest. Important and appreciable: the two personal situations of Astrid and Raphaëlle are well treated from the first episode and constitute a common thread of this season 5. The meeting with Raphaëlle's mother, played by Julie Arnold (Sophie from the cult series Marc and Sophie)also brings a new element to the enigma that is Commander Coste. Astrid is just as well served because the return of a person from her past will push her to plunge back into a trauma from her adolescence. Given the attachment developed over the seasons for these two protagonists, these common threads will certainly keep fans of the series in suspense. However, a shadow is added to the picture of this season 5: in its treatment of the investigations, the series flirts more and more with a caricature of itself. But this turn towards more lightness will perhaps please some, in these dark times in our society.
