Dead Beautiful

As group leader of the Judicial Police in Paris, Martin is responsible for investigating the most atrocious and misogynistic crimes committed against society. Distrustful of everyone, he bears the marks of both his past successes and failures. Luckily, the ladies in his life are on hand to assist him.

Directed by Alexis Lecaye, Dead Beautiful leans on a strong ensemble — Sophie-Charlotte Husson, Thierry Godard, Jean-Toussaint Bernard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2011.
