This grandmother called Android image It is released on Videotron’s Club illico on Thursday. It looks very good. The one-hour-long episodes revolve around Yves Garance (excellent Rachel Graton), a forensic portrait painter assigned to the Unresolved Special Crimes Unit of the Montreal Police, led by Maryse Veron (Sophie Lauren).

Eve delves into the minds of crime victims and helps them remember specific details of the attacker’s face, the scent of their perfume, or a special scar. Great to see it in action. It’s like a hypnosis session. Stop the image here. Turn off the sound. What jumps in your face? This is a drawing of the face of the person who kidnapped you.

Sometimes Eve gets into a trance like Eleven in Weird thingsWithout nosebleeds. Real “eccentric”, mates mocked, but intuitive eccentric.

This “supernatural” aspect of a realistic detective thriller could have been misplaced. but not. It works.

All of the surveys Android image Rings on two rings. The first case relates to the disappearance of young girls who were kidnapped in Montreal and were drugged and tied for days. One of the victims (Roman Denis, very fair), now 20, is getting her memories back and her memories finally come back.

The slow construction of the robot image allows the viewer to suspect the various characters in the series, who are physically similar to each other. Here, he has blue eyes, too. Well, why does stepfather (Hubert Prolux) seem so suspicious to us? The more episodes progressed, the compound looked like the suspect that we actually saw on the show without actually seeing it.

About the painter Eve, a young woman who has suffered a great deal of trauma, revolves around other complex figures, starting with the patron of this investigation cell dedicated to unresolved cases (Cold situations), Maryse (Sophie Loren). Stuck in a wheelchair, Maryse is living with Vitreous syndrome. Her hat and Cartesian spirit never leaves her. It also pulls the heavy burdens of life.

Then there is the lead investigator named Bernard Dupin (Remy Gerrard), better known as Moloss. A champion in solving serious business. Alone and at the end of his career, Bernard shines when a new crime scene technician, Anthony (Adrian Belogo), tries to ally with him. But beneath his rude and retro vibe, Bernard appears to be an honest cop, although a mysterious scene leaves our minds in doubt at the end of Episode Two.

A mysterious character played by Jean-Francois Bechet – with a completely shaved head – appears at the same time, and really makes you want to start the next episode. And the next.

In a way Mindhunter From Netflix, the unit for Portrait of Robot runs in a decaying yellowish vault, giving a different visual style from the classic detective series to District 31 or Alerts. The use of special effects, such as replacing heads with robotic images, is very successful.
