Review of Glacé

Glacé (2016– )
5/10
Pretty Good but not Great
24 January 2018
I watched this on netflix,The trailer is in english but every episode is in french,(I knew this was a French production, just confused by the trailer.) maybe that was the better option. The story starts 10 years after the original manhunt and successful capture of a serial killer who is at this point in time is in a psychiatric unit without hope of ever being released. After a grizzly discovery the detective who caught the serial killer is asked to join the new investigation and so starts this story. It's pretty good, but can get annoying like missing obvious suspects and clues that could be connected to the case at hand, which at times can become tedious and drawn out to get the point across to viewers. Most of the characters go through wimpy scenes with overplayed emotions that just get in the way, especially when reading subtitles that vanish in a blink of the eye in certain areas, so you miss a sentence as they last less than a second. As is the norm these days, the main protagonist has his personal demons and only functions using a full flask of alcohol and unlimited smokes including extreme nose bleeds from tension. The last episode is basically a race against time bringing the season to a full circle leaving an opening for a season 2.
