The first few minutes of the first episode showed promise as we learn that Inspector Awa is struggling with the aftermath of her brother's unsolved death as she gets called to a ski resort to investigate the death of a popular athlete. But the writing became dull and slow as the plot progressed. There was a list of possible suspects, each with their own motivations but very little character development. The reveal of the killer felt clunky and unoriginal. The last 5 minutes of the show wrap up the main plot before we're dashed into a completely different and rushed finale to a plot involving the lead's relative. In short, the writers cramped with should have been at least 2 more episodes into 4 clunky, confusing and frustrating episodes. The acting was subpar but the production does gain a few points for the gorgeous French alpine scenery. This series was a big disappointment.
