Nadia Farès stars as a Provençal detective investigating a murder, and her own sister’s disappearance, in a series that’s high on glamour and Gallic hokum
Imagine if Crossroads had been relocated to the south of France and the cast – Benny, Miss Diane and even Amy Turtle – replaced by impossibly beautiful women and men with abs so defined you could slice baguettes with them. Such is the Gallic hokum that is The Red Shadows (Channel 4).
Domaine de Saint-Victoire boasts a hotel, a golf course, glamorous staff and Mediterranean views you don’t get in Selly Oak. It’s so Euro-posh that you expect to see Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon trading Al Pacino impersonations on the terrace.
