“We will have seen everything…”: why “Cannes criminal police”, the new series with Lucie Lucas and Shy’m, is not unanimous: Femme Actuelle Le MAG

On Monday October 9, 2023, a new series arrived on TF1. Baptized Cannes criminal police, this fiction highlights a duo composed of Lucie Lucas and Shy’m. The dancer thus plays Léa Robert, a police officer. A role that was not easy for the mother to play. “When I was cast, it seemed dizzying to me. I told myself I wasn’t going to make it. I gained confidence in myself as a woman: it was the first time that I had embarked on a professional project in such an intense way and over such a long period since the birth of my son, and it reassured me to tell myself that I was capable of it”she blurted out to Tele-Leisure, on Monday October 9, 2023. At his side, Lucie Lucas plays Camille. “She embraces her masculine side and her feminine side. She punches and she goes into fights, and at the same time, she does her investigations wearing golden cowboy boots, makeup, improbable hairstyles… This is the type of character I want to defend at the moment“she confided the same day to TV Star.

“It’s impossible for me to continue”

The plot of the story takes place on the Croisette. But now viewers were taken aback by a very specific point: the dubbing of the actors’ voices. And for good reason, the series Cannes criminal police was filmed… in English! Lucie Lucas, Shy’m and Jamie Bamber, the sidekick of the two young women, were forced to re-record their dialogues in French. And this dubbing is not easy. “It’s very strange, especially since I’m used to having my text in my head for a long time after filming. There, I really had to detach myself from it because the translation wasn’t quite right. literal”, indicated Shy’m to Questioned by TF1, Monday October 9. Unfortunately for the fiction, the dubbing did not convince viewers at all. On X, many of them showed their anger. “We will have seen it all… A French series shot in English to re-dub it in French… frankly, it’s a total lack of respect for the Frenchbecause it’s horrible to watch”wrote a user on X. “What is this disgusting dubbing! No, it’s impossible for me to continueit’s torture”.
