Paris Enquêtes Criminelles? OUI!
So I downloaded Paris Enquêtes Criminelles - otherwise known as The French Version of Criminal Intent - Now With More Berets!.
And I LOVE IT. I have no idea what they are saying, BUT I LOVE IT. I love La Eames and Le Goren, and even the fact it's a complete and utter remake down to the Goren Head Tilt and Eames' "Oh, Goren" Face.
Look! Do they have their roles down OR WHAT. Let's look at this wonderfully bizarre excuse for Dick Wolf to get more money closer.
This is Vincent Revel. You can call him Le Goren.
This is Claire Savigny. Or, if you prefer, La Eames.
(I have no idea if their names are nods to Vincent and Katie, but let's pretend they are.)
They're partners. Savigny hates Revel, just like Eames hates Goren.
Like Goren, Revel does creepy shit like sniffing money.
Like Eames, Savigny pulls this face and refrains from kicking him.
They are joined by Captain Croissant and...
...CARVER IN DRAG AS A WHITE WOMAN. This hampers his plans to sex everyone up with some sexual chocolate.
They work in a room that resembles either a) an alien space craft or b) that aluminum house you made out of a shoebox for your Barbies when you were eight.
Although, their interrogation room looks strangely familiar...
...although stabbing a chicken while interrogating some woman is totes Vincent Perez's idea.
No, really. So are the following things:
1. Original and disarming head tilt
2. Strange leather book that's full of crap to show how detailed and/or scattered this brilliant brain is
3. Sympathising with schitzophrenic patients because he's JUST THAT GOOD
4. Getting up in yo' grill and/or crazy dads about to shoot their kids with a shotgun.
Uh. Um.
DOES THE NYPD HAVE COOL ORANGE ARMBANDS WITH POLICE ON THEM? No. So there.
I LOVED IT. The first episode was "Phantoms" with more ouis and nons - it was disconcerting how similar the two episodes are, almost shot for shot.
And, and, at the end, when Le Goren was all angsting about facing the Dad Shooter? We didn't just get sexy uncocking of the gun...WE GOT LA EAMES CONCERN. I can feel sexin' coming on, people. Squint and it will kinda look like VDO and KE?
Love Sandrine Rigaux, who's playing La Eames. She's just perfect. And the two of them have great chemistry, which really it's all about. I just wonder if VDO will watch this and go, "Huh. So much for my hard work, Perez!" then eat another handful of pure baking grease with a side of marshmellows.
I can feel the following coming on:
a) crossover fic where Eames and Goren eat bread sticks, and
b) RPF where the French stars visit and Perez is all over Katie and VDO gets full jealous and hello.
Stop me. No. Really.

Dick Wolf has so many shows now that there's a little factor in Jersey that mass-produces the L&O tiles. They are lead-free (we believe).
a) crossover fic where Eames and Goren eat bread sticks, and
OMG! I was totally thinking they should end the show with G&E going onto Rene Balcer's new show ("NYPD meets the Amazing Race meets 24 but without guns") and they would go back to 'Nam and Goren would try to make Eames eat fried bugs and she would miss her gun a lot a lot a lot and they'd get separate hotel rooms wherever they went, but only because it's NYPD protocol!
Stop me. No. Really.

BALCER WOULD TOTES DO A SHOW LIKE THAT. OMG NOW I WANT TO WRITE AMAZING RACE GOREN/EAMES
no subject
Balcer said the idea came from working with the NYPD and learning of a program developed by the force after 9/11, in which more than 70 detectives are sent to different cities around the globe.
Nowrasteh will write and exec produce with Balcer, while Jonathan Mostow will direct and also exec produce.
"Their initial purpose was to act as an early warning system against any kind of threats directed at New York City," he said. "But the mandate has become to investigate many different kinds of crimes that have a New York connection."
Balcer calls the project the "anti-'24.' "
"What's interesting about these detectives is they don't have the resources of the federal government -- they're not allowed to carry weapons, don't have the power to execute search warrants or arrest people. It's more like 'The Amazing Race' -- you're dumped in a foreign city to investigate crimes."
WHERE NO DOUBT THEY WILL END UP IN FRANCE EATIN' BREADSTICKS WITH VINCE AND CLAIRE AND BERETS WILL THEN BE OH-SO-REDUNDANT.
