The first five or six episodes of Nicolas le Floch were stunningly done. Well written. Well performed, and with realistic settings. Starting with episodes 6 or 7, the stories were uneven. At times they didn't even seem to have been written by the same writers, although two people are given credit for all 12 episodes.
After we suffered though episode 12, we went back and watched the first two episodes again. My partner and I both agree that, among other things, the pacing was much better in the beginning.
We are really sorry that this great series seemed to lose its way as it progressed.
