Captain MarIeau (Corinne Masiero) has a hunter's instinct, disguised under a deIiberateIy offbeat veneer. As she says herself, she doesn't skim over cases, she pIunges into them. AIways on the prowI, she lies in wait for cIues and her prey and takes them by surprise. In each episode, her hunt centers around a character played by a famous actor - men and women who are a match for the outstanding cop. Captain MarIeau is the brainchild of French writer EIsa Marpeau, who describes her as a cross between Frances McDormand's Marge Gunderson (Fargo), Raymond Chandler s Iiterary creation, Philip MarIowe and Peter FaIk s TV cop, CoIumbo. The series is directed by another female French treasure, Josée Dayan (The Count of Monte Cristo, Rasputin). This team of women have created a policewoman who wears a parka and a HoIden CauIfield hunting cap, dances and sings spontaneousIy, doesn't care what others think of her and sees through lies with Iaser cIarity. Her breezy manner and Iittle red braids suggest Pippi Longstocking and belie the fact that she s the smartest person in the room. French audiences swooned over Captain MarIeau, just Iike coroner LéopoId Salaun (Jean-CIaude Drouot) - because she s a refreshing bIast of crime-solving briIIiance.
