Terrific series, with its psychological angles, great writing and cases. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 11/27/2019
Balthazar succeeds because of the chemistry between its leads, and that Balthazar himself is just weird and obnoxious enough to be likable. Go to Full Review

Diane M @RT16029453 Apr 19 Totally addicted to this show. Balthazar is so funny nut poignant at the same time. The interaction and dynamics between him and "Capitain" are awesome. I watch one episode a day to make the series last See more 07/03/2022 While it's a little lightweight and not dissimilar to other series with a similar theme, the writers have managed to avoid many of the pitfalls that can plague these stories. There are now three seasons available with the fourth yet to be released with English subtitles but after the drama of the S3 ending, it will be interesting to see where they go next. See more 07/19/2020 Great humor, terrific intrigue, sexy relationships, and more. Don't let the fact it is subtitled discourage you. You will want to watch every episode. I am hopeful that there will be a Season 3 See more 05/08/2020 Smart, cheeky, sexy...substantive characters, intriguing crimes and great chemistry among the cast. I binged the entire two seasons. See more 04/05/2020 Great actors, love it. See more 12/16/2019 Very cool story with great actors. The subtitles are very British and the cinematography is obviously French. See more Read all reviews
