Why French Mysteries?
The allure of French mysteries begins with atmosphere. Sun-drenched vineyards, windswept coastlines, medieval villages, and snow-capped peaks aren’t just postcard backdrops—they’re central characters in the story.
French crime dramas embrace contrast: beauty and brutality, elegance and obsession, history and modern crime colliding in spectacular settings. From the lavender fields of Provence to the cliffs of Brittany, these series transform some of France’s most scenic regions into stages for murder, secrets, and intrigue.
The long-running sensation Murder In… perfectly encapsulates what makes French mysteries great as it takes viewers across France with each installment. One episode might unfold in the wine country of Bordeaux, another in the shadow of the Alps, another along the rugged Atlantic coast. The crimes are gripping, the detectives loveable, and the landscapes are unforgettable.
And of course, the charm of these series doesn’t end with the beautiful locations. There are also beloved characters to fall in love with! From total opposites at the heart of The Art of Crime and a divorced couple who find themselves working together in Tandem, to the lovingly quirky Captain Marleau, these are detectives with heart.
Combining the sweeping beauty of the country, charming characters, and twisting plotlines, these series are essential MHz Choice viewing. With over two dozen (and counting) French mysteries on offer, it can be hard to know where to start! So curl up with a cup of something warm (or a glass of something strong) and settle in for a marathon of delight with these essential French mysteries.
Essential French Mysteries on MHz Choice
Stream iconic French mysteries that stand above the rest.
Murder In...
There can’t be a list of Essential French Mysteries without THE essential French mystery series! Murder In… is a gorgeous anthology of mysteries, each one set in a different, picturesque region of France.
With 15 seasons and counting, plus a dubbed collection, Murder In… is the most streamed series on MHz Choice for very good reason!
The Art of Crime
The Art of Crime follows a can’t-fail formula, combining mysteries, art history, and a bit of “will-they-or-won’t-they” that has made this series one of the most popular available on MHz Choice! Captain Antoine Verlay (Nicholas Gob, A French Village) is clueless about art. Luckily, he is partnered with eccentric art historian Florence Chassagne (Eléonore Bernheim, Murder In…), and together, they manage to solve high-profile art crimes in the heart of Paris.
Cassandre
When it premiered on MHz Choice in 2024, Cassandre proved to be an instant hit.
The long-running series that follows Parisian cop Florence Cassandre as she moves to Annecy and takes a new job investigating crimes in the stunningly beautiful Haute-Savoie region near the Swiss border. A city cop solving crimes in the beautiful countryside is a proven formula for an addictive French mystery!
Tandem
At the beginning of long-running French mystery Tandem, we meet Montpellier police investigators Lea Soler and Paul Marchal: co-workers who are both single parents of teenagers and both recently divorced… from each other.
The conflict (and flirting) that arises from exes working together may seem a bit predictable, but it doesn’t make it any less charming! (It also helps that lead actors Astrid Veillon and Stéphane Blancafort are just too good-looking to not make us wonder “will they or won’t they…”).
All seven seasons of Tandem are now streaming!
