Cannes Confidential is a British/French homicide police procedural with a romantic subplot. Aired on Acorn TV and season 1 had six 45-minute episodes.

Set in Cannes, France, we have homicide detective Lt. Camille Delmasse (Lucie Lucas) and her partner Lea Robert (Shy'm) investigating crimes. In episode one Camille encounters Harry King (Jamie Bamber), a British con man/rogue who helps her out with the case. He keeps getting involved in other cases and Camille ends up blackmailing Harry into helping her free her father from prison (which is one of the subplots: is dad, a former chief of police, really a criminal).

This sets up a Camille/Harry pairing. He's very smug and exasperating and yet she starts to find him attractive and they both keep secrets from each other. Meanwhile turns out that Lea is in love with Camille which might be the setup for an unusual love triangle in future seasons.

It's filmed in Cannes so lots of old buildings with coastal and hilly views because Cannes is really a fairly modest tourist town except when the film festival arrives. The mysteries are not really unusual and maybe a bit much of Harry using extra-legal means to find information (so I wonder how admissible it would be in an American court).

In any case the draw is the chemistry between our photogenic leads.

Anyway, I zipped through all six episodes in one day so it did keep me interested all the way through.
