What is behind the success of this collection of police investigations from France 3, including two unpublished episodes, with Antoine Duléry and Elisa Ruschke, are broadcast this evening?
Over 5 million viewers for the launch of Perfect Crimes with the duo Isabelle Gélinas – Arthur Mazet in December 2017. Ditto in January 2018 for the first adventure of Antoine Duléry and Elisa Ruschke. More than 4 million for another previously unreleased in December 2019 with Philippe Caroit and Garance Thenault (3.8 million for its replay on June 23). To say that the France 3 collection is a success!
On paper, the formula does not shine for its originality. A thriller, favorite genre of the French. A gimmick Columbo with a murderer identified from the first scenes. Investigators – a man and a woman – in antagonistic mode. And a region put forward for the heritage guarantee of the Three.

The very simplicity of the proposal would be the key to success for Ivan Sadik, producer of the two episodes aired this evening. “We put the viewers in the secret of the gods, since they know the culprit and they savor the playful way in which he will be stuck! The writing and the dramaturgy are no less complex: the audience is one step ahead of the investigators, so the latter should not stretch too much“, He explains.
The fiction does not lack rhythm indeed, and this one is in particular related to the format of 52 minutes. With humor, fantasy too. Point of gendarmerie, superiors, procedure or expertise, the scenario takes liberties, sideways and focuses on the essential, its characters.
