“You have what face! You took a lot there ”: in a medical gown and pink charlotte, Candice Renoir, alias Cécile Bois, observes herself. She is not gentle with herself. In the operating room where she sees herself being operated on urgently, the policewoman finds herself ugly and with bad hair. “Come on, let’s take this ball out, come on, come on! » : with an enthusiasm worthy of a cheerleader, she encourages the medical personnel who try to save her life.
Like the first seconds, the six episodes of the new season (and final in its current form) of the detective series from France 2, back as a bonus from this Friday, will be resolutely turned towards humor (sometimes black), derision, emotion and introspection. Not to mention love with a capital A!
Because yes, a thousand times yes, the time has come for the heroine to throw herself without any more complex into the arms of her Antoine.
Followed by 5.6 million viewers on average, the previous season ended with a bang. The victim, who is none other than the commander, was close to death. Injured in the region of the heart, placed in an artificial coma for three weeks, Candice, upon waking, feels an urgency to live. No more wasting time, especially with the seductive Captain Dumas, played by Raphaël Lenglet.
“It’s a season where the relationships between protagonists are highlighted, it also evokes the transmission, and will pay tribute to the public who has followed us from the start” tells us the actor, in Corsica for ten days for the shooting a ”special episode” around the duo’s catastrophic vacation. These new releases ordered by the channel to offer a totally different format to viewers will be broadcast in 2023.
Actor and part-director
The actor, who directed two episodes out of six, also emphasizes the decidedly more comic tone of the whole thing: “I emphasized comedy in the episodes that I directed, those in the middle. I really let myself go on that side. Antoine and Candice are together, but without revealing too much, there will always be pitfalls in their path. From a game perspective, it was also interesting to see a little more intimacy and a little less antagonism between them. It was something we wanted to explore, Cécile and I. Moreover, it is a slider that we will push even more in the special episode in Corsica that we are currently filming ”.
And if the characters reveal a little more their intimacy, the investigations will not be relegated to the background: “The balance remains the same”. Something to reassure fans of police intrigues unraveled thanks to the sagacity of the two heroes.
