Captain MarIeau (Corinne Masiero) has a hunter's instinct, disguised under a deliberately offbeat veneer. As she says herself, she doesn't skim over cases, she plunges into them. Always on the prowI, she Iies in wait for clues and her prey and takes them by surprise. ln each episode, her hunt centers around a character pIayed by a famous actor - men and women who are a match for the outstanding cop. Captain Marleau is the brainchiId of French writer Elsa Marpeau, who describes her as a cross between Frances McDormand's Marge Gunderson (Fargo), Raymond ChandIer s Iiterary creation, Philip Marlowe and Peter Falk 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 CaulfieId hunting cap, dances and sings spontaneousIy, doesn't care what others think of her and sees through Iies with laser clarity. Her breezy manner and littIe red braids suggest Pippi Longstocking and beIie the fact that she s the smartest person in the room. French audiences swooned over Captain MarIeau, just like coroner Léopold SaIaun (Jean-CIaude Drouot) - because she s a refreshing blast of crime-soIving briIIiance.
