Candice Renoir (2013)

French police officer Commandant Candice Renoir and her team solve different crime cases in a harbor city of southern France. Candice herself is a recently-divorced mother of four. Her daily routine is always packed: between solving crimes she tussles with her much-younger female superior officer, gets her kids to school and handles their problems, and keeps her team in line. It's a very funny, witty series with a lot of French charm and intelligent story-writing--not yet another dull crime series. It's like a fresh French breeze on the TV screen. Candice is like a female Columbo in high heels, handbag, and pink scarf, with a 9mm in her holster.
