True detective – Season 1

Captain Marleau

Captain Marleau has the instinct of the hunter under voluntarily offbeat ways. As she says herself, she does not fly over a matter, she “pushes herself”. She watches her prey, tracks and surprises them unexpectedly. His hunts are organized, in each episode, around a central character, man or woman, at the height of this extraordinary cop.

There are arrogant cops and really not cool with their colleagues, like Carl Mock, and then there the Captain Marleau, embodied by the brilliant Corinne Masiero (Louise Wimmer) in the eponymous series created by Elsa Marpeau and produced by Josée Dayan. If this gendarmerie captain is not bad (even if she likes to send people to walk around from time to time), she is most eccentric and loves black humor as Carl Mock. Living the investigation to the four corners of France, she shows formidable deduction capacities to get her hands on the culprits.

All episodes of Captain Marleau are not available in streaming but the series can be found for free on France.TV and M6+.

Dr. House

Doctor Gregory House is a brilliant Misanthrope tendency who runs a team of interns in Princeton-Plainsboro hospital in New Jersey. House is an arrogant, cynical, anti -conformist and asocial man. He suffers from a claudication from chronic pain in the right leg, walks with a cane and abuses from Vicodin, an opiate pain reliever, to relieve his pain.

If Carl Mock was a doctor, his name would be Gregory House. The character embodied by Hugh Laurie (The Night Manager) in the series of David Shore (The Good Doctor) is indeed as a mock: sarcastic, execrable with all those around him (patients or colleagues) but brilliant. He resolves the most complex medical mysteries with a team of doctors to whom he returns life almost impossible, but his black humor and his memorable replicas in the background one of the most essential anti-heroes on the small screen.

The eight seasons of Dr. House are available on Video premium and Netflix.
