"Julie Depardieu shines as a rule-breaking coroner in this quirky French mystery that finds lighthearted humor within the morgue."
Series Analysis:
Alexandra Ehle prefers the company of the deceased, treating the Bordeaux morgue less like a lab and more like a social club for the silent. Julie Depardieu’s eccentric pathologist has a habit of restoring dignity to 'her' bodies by conducting unauthorized investigations, usually to the frustration of her brother, Commander Antoine Doineau. It is a procedural that trades grit for whimsy, finding humor in the autopsy suite. With the latest finale leaving the Institute of Forensic Medicine in suspense, viewers are currently enduring the quiet stretch before renewal news breaks. Since the dead are notoriously tight-lipped about network decisions, setting a reminder for the series return is the smartest way to ensure you don't miss her next unauthorized case.
