Regular readers know I’ve reviewed dozens of streaming TV series from a number of European countries over the past few years. The light-hearted cop show, “Deadly Tropics (Tropiques Criminels)”, based in an idyllic (other than the requisite murders and assorted felonies) Caribbean locale has been one of my favorites. That made the 18-month gap between the domestic release of the first two seasons and this next one seem even longer.

Francis Perrin as Antoine Mongeville, in the French crime series “Mongeville.” Courtesy of MHzChoice
The title of the French procedural series, “Mongeville,” is not the name of its town. That’s Bordeaux. Rather, it refers to retired judge Antoine Mongeville (Francis Perrin), who for one reason or another winds up unofficially assisting the local homicide bureau in each week’s murder. In the first of two three-episode seasons being released together, he helps Detective Axelle Ferrano (Marie Moute), greatly to the consternation of her department’s head, Commissaire Briare (Pierre Aussedat), who deeply resents any input from that particular source.

Briare’s resentment continues to seethe, despite Mongeville’s growing track record of consistently providing valuable help. The tenor of the series changes...
