Captain Marleau is a French crime drama series that first aired in 2015. It is an episodic series that follows the investigations of Captain Marleau, played by Corinne Masiero, who is a quirky and unconventional detective. The series is set in the fictional town of Bordeaux, and each episode begins with Captain Marleau arriving on the crime scene. She is a unique character, wearing a trench coat and driving an old beat-up Peugeot. She is also a free spirit, often playing her harmonica and speaking her mind, even if that means stepping on the toes of her superiors.

Captain Marleau is a seasoned detective with a sharp eye and excellent intuition. She always seems to know who the culprit is, but it's how she gets to the answer that makes the show compelling. She is not above bending the rules and using unusual methods to solve the case, which annoys her colleagues but endears her to the audience.

The show has a unique structure, with each episode featuring a different crime and cast of characters. The cases are diverse and range from murders to kidnappings, with each episode offering a new puzzle for Captain Marleau to solve. The writing is clever, with red herrings and twists that keep you guessing until the very end.

The supporting cast is also excellent, with some standout performances from Aymeric Demarigny and Marius Colucci. Aymeric plays Lieutenant Leman, who often clashes with Captain Marleau but also admires her unconventional methods. Marius plays the local prosecutor, who is often exasperated by Captain Marleau's approach but can't argue with her results.

The show is beautifully shot, with stunning French countryside and picturesque towns serving as a backdrop to the crimes. The cinematography is often moody and atmospheric, adding to the overall mystery of the show.

One of the things that makes Captain Marleau stand out is the performance by Corinne Masiero. She completely embodies the character and gives a nuanced and layered portrayal. She is tough yet vulnerable, funny yet serious, and her performance is a joy to watch.

Overall, Captain Marleau is an engaging and entertaining crime drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It has a unique structure, excellent writing, and a standout performance by Corinne Masiero. If you're a fan of crime dramas, Captain Marleau is definitely worth a watch.
