What the press think…
According to Télé Loisirs:
“By sketching the portrait of a killer in love with the work of the writer Jules Vernes, this episode of “Murders in …” offers a rather original story. Almost reluctantly, we let ourselves be taken in by the art of contrast between the macabre horror of the facts and the infantile universe which shelters them.” 4/5
According to Télé 7 Jours:
“A TV movie with a script full of twists and false leads carried by Grégoire Bonnet, remarkable as a cantankerous old cop and the excellent Joyce Bibring with the false airs of Zabou Breitman.” 3.5/5
According to TV Star:
“A well-constructed plot carried by talented actors.” 3.5/5
According to TV Cable Sat:
“Behind an uninteresting investigation emerges a real relationship between two injured beings.” 3/5
According to Telerama:
“As often in the Meurtres à series, it is very difficult to be interested in the detective plot, here linked in a terribly artificial way to the work of the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, who died in 1905 in Amiens. (…) Fortunately, the gradually calmed relationship between the gruff but protective cop and his strong-willed colleague turns out to be quite pleasant to follow. 2.5/5
