Captain Marleau, Vol. 2 (DVD)

As she says herself, Capitaine Marleau (Corinne Masiero) doesn't skim over cases, she plunges into them. In each episode of this celebrated series, her hunt centers around a new criminal, always played by a famous face in the vein of Columbo and Law & Order: SVU. CAPTAIN MARLEAU is the brainchild of French writer Elsa Marpeau and director Josée Dayan (The Count of Monte Cristo, Rasputin), creating an iconic policewoman not unlike Fargo's Marge Gunderson who wears a hunting cap, sings spontaneously, and sees through lies with laser clarity. French audiences swooned over Captain Marleau, and so will you – because she's a refreshing blast of crime-solving brilliance. VOLUME 2 collects the following episodes: "Open Air," "Room With a View," "Buried Memory," "Blood and Light," "The Young Man and Death," and "Double Dealing."
