More than eighteen months after the broadcast of the pilot, France 2 is offering the second episode of Tout le monde ment, a new collection of thrillers created and co-written by the successful writer, screenwriter and ex-cop, Olivier Norek.
The author then said he was driven by the ambition to offer viewers
“a classic work but also accomplished, innovative and entertaining”

TV program this evening: our selection of the day
The new affair, which leads Vincent Verner (Vincent Elbaz) and his group dedicated to sensitive cases on the trail of a repeat rapist, but protected by his profession and his celebrity (Julien Boisselier, the all-purpose villain of French fiction) , confirms the quality of the program.
Its starting point is the discovery of the corpse of a young nurse.

Between Jacques Tati, Columbo and Inspector Clouseau
The police first concluded that it was a burglary that had gone wrong.
Except that the day before his death, the victim filed a complaint for rape against Mathieu Lecerf (Julien Boisselier), a very prominent actor, very loved, very supported, star of a police series followed by millions of viewers and darling of TV sets.
Vincent, Malory, Julien and the others will have to prove his guilt.
The plot is structured.
The humor, quite distant.
The texts are neat.
The investigator, between Jacques Tati,
Columbo
and Inspector Clouseau, like the supporting roles, is perfect.
As for the postulate, it resonates strangely with current events.
And if this group of sensitive affairs is perfectly fictitious, we are surprised, given this story and the previous one - centered on a provincial industrialist overwhelmed by his will of all power - we like the idea that he could exist.

“A certain segment of society very generally escapes all sanctions whatever their misdeeds. And this fringe is these people - politicians, business leaders, media stars, big investment bankers - who we almost never manage to touch because they protect each other. I said to myself that the alliance of an honest prosecutor and a cop obsessed with the truth could be a good narrative lever to address this issue which is a real social issue

In short, we don't get bored.
Better yet, we're totally into the game. And that's for real...
