swissair100 February 7, 2023 Share February 7, 2023 (edited) This French mystery crime show just started showing at our local PBS. Astrid, an autistic woman who works in the library of the judicial police has an incredible memory, & assists the local police force in analyzing the files for ongoing investigations. She & the female commander, Raphaëlle have a special camaraderie that is quite wonderful (although the coroner, Fournier is my fave). A fascinating & very well done show - thankful for the subtitles. Apparently in its 4th season as it is quite popular. Edited February 7, 2023 by swissair100 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/

We watched the first half of the 2 part “The Haunting” on our PBS station last night and really enjoyed it. Going to Amazon Prime for the first pilot episode, which we missed, but is apparently free there (other episodes require a PBS Masterpiece membership). 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-7879497
Milburn Stone March 2, 2023 Share March 2, 2023 We're now most of the way through Season 2. Have enjoyed this show greatly since Season 1 first appeared on Prime. Astrid is a wonderful character, and Sara Mortensen's portrayal of her is iconic. Until discovering this thread, I had no idea that the actual French name of the show is Astrid & Raphaëlle! (Prime/PBS just calls it Astrid.) Thanks for creating it, @swissair100. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-7894173

krankydoodle January 8, 2024 Share January 8, 2024 I just watched season 3 through PBS Passport and really enjoyed it, but it's kind of a bummer that we'll probably have to wait another year for season 4 even though it's just aired in France. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-8258601
LisaM January 8, 2024 Share January 8, 2024 Astrid may be my favorite foreign show. So looking forward to binge-watching Season 3. Sara Mortensen, who plays Astrid, is phenomenal.

andromeda331 May 4, 2024 Share May 4, 2024 I really like this series. I love that they have an main character with autism. It's great watching Astrid progress through the series. Raphelle learning how to work with her. They have a great friendship. I like how much her son warmed up to Astrid. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-8359573
andromeda331 May 10, 2024 Share May 10, 2024 I can't remember the name of the episode. But there's one where Astrid and William are in the cemetery trying to open a crypt but are having trouble. William asks what Raphelle would do in this situation. Astrid says she'd get mad and say shit a lot. So they both do that to see if it helps. It doesn't but it's hilarious. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-8364848

chitowngirl January 4 Share January 4 (edited) Just watched S04.E01-Nico and Raphaëlle…oy! I knew what was going to happen as soon as we saw Raph in the bar. Astrid and Tetsuo continue to be adorkable. And I love her support group. Oh yeah-there was a good case to solve too!

LisaM January 5 Share January 5 (edited) I watched S4, Episode 1 as well. Cracked up as everyone mentioned Raph's new hairstyle. Loved the sleepover! Laughed out loud at Astrid complaining that Raph's "twisting and turning" was keeping her awake. They are like an old married couple. Looking forward to meeting Astrid's half-brother. Edited to add: Have now watched through Episode 5. The episode set at the chess tournament is my favorite. Loving the introduction of Niels.

chitowngirl January 7 Share January 7 I finished season 4. A clichéd ending 🙄. I wish we would have seen the events leading to it rather than just being told it happened. Loved Astrid and Niels.

buckboard January 13 Share January 13 I really enjoyed episode 6 of season 4, where the woman who attacked an environmental activist claims she is from the future and how Raph deals with that. In addition to an interesting COTW, I like how Astrid's relationship with her half-brother is growing. As is she. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-8553846
krankydoodle January 16 Share January 16 (edited) I've finished watching the season and will be interested to see what others think of the last episode. I agree with @chitowngirl that some developments were strangely skipped over and am not sure I like some of the choices made that will presumably play out next season. Anyway, I just found out that there's a British remake of the show called Patience starring Laura Fraser in the Raphaëlle role and Ella Maisy Purvis as the title character. I wonder if an American version is in the works too.

buckboard January 17 Share January 17 Thanks for posting about Patience, krandydoodle. I see that it is scheduled to appear on PBS in America sometime this year. One of the detectives is played by Mark Benton, a favorite actor of ours from Shakespeare and Hathaway. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136942-astrid-rapha%C3%ABlle-general-discussion/#findComment-8556860
andromeda331 Monday at 11:33 PM Share Monday at 11:33 PM (edited) A great season I loved Astrid and Neils. They were great together. Astrid getting comfortable enough with him staying the night once a week. That was great. I really hated him moving away. I love the sleepover. I love Astrid and Tetsuo. They are so cute together. Astrid learns to play Go. The from the future was interesting. I like that Astrid couldn't dispute it because it hasn't happened yet. Raphelle does because it's never happened before. The cloning one was weird. I don't like that Nico and Raphelle finally get together and we missed it. It would have been more fun to see it finally happening after waiting for so long. I'm glad there will be another season. On 1/16/2025 at 8:40 PM, buckboard said: Thanks for posting about Patience, krandydoodle.
