Madame Blanc Mysteries: Episode 6 - 2021

For some insane reason, Robin is not in episodes 4 or 5! So....skipping my commentary of those here and going right to the finale of the season. I do hope there'll be a season 2!



Jean White has sold her house in the village and is ready to leave for England. To make it all the more upsetting, the slight hint of romance between her and Dom has been squashed because his wife, who had left him two years prior, is back and appears to want to pick up where she left off. Robin-as-Jeremy is shown at the bar with his wife, happily planning Jean's going-away party.

The loose ends of the season get wrapped up by the end...who killed her husband and why...and now is Jean's life in danger? ...and why is Dom's wife REALLY back? You'll have to watch to find out!

Good job, Robin! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another season of you in this!

Madame Blanc Mysteries: Episode 3 - 2021



Episode 3 finds Jeremy and Judith holding an 80s-themed 35th anniversary party! Complete with a poster of their wedding day showing a younger Robin, which I thought was a cute touch:

But, wouldn't you know, there's a murder at the celebration - I won't say who - and thankfully Jean White is soon on the case!

Robin steals every scene he's in, he's adorable in this episode, playing so very oblivious, and the looks his wife gives him are just priceless!

Madame Blanc Mysteries: Episode 2 - 2021



I'm really getting into this show! Fun and simple to follow. This episode finds Jean White helping a woman in town track down information about her birth family, who were separated during WW2, leaving her with just a few antique items to trace. One clue leads her to the grounds of Jeremy (Robin)'s place. His story is revealed more in this episode. His family had been the owners of a large chateau since his grandfather's day, and he and his wife live there now and are quite wealthy. He happily allows Jean and Dom (Steve Edge) to search the grounds, where they find something quite startling (hehe).

Side story is a TV show producer interviewing couples in the village for a new reality show and everyone, including Jeremy and wife, are excited about being the couple chosen. Sue Holderness plays wife Judith and is pretty funny with her over-the-top behavior and Robin does great playing her amiable husband. Some of his expressions are hilarious!
