A 'near-perfect' crime series starring Coronation Street legend Sally Lindsay has finally arrived on Netflix, with viewers hailing it as 'a refreshing change' for the genre. The Madame Blanc Mysteries, which dropped on the streamer on Wednesday, follows Lindsay's character Jean White, a Cheshire antiques dealer turned amateur detective.
The cosy crime show, originally airing on Channel 5 from 2021, is set in a fictional village in southern France. It sees Jean, helped by a cast of locals, solve her husband's murder and a range of other mysteries. The four series were co-written by Lindsay and long-time writing partner Sue Vincent, who also stars as local garage owner Gloria.
Guest stars include Les Dennis, the late Paul O'Grady, Robin Askwith, Sue Holderness, Paul Chuckle and Tony Robinson. The show has been praised by viewers on IMDb, with one calling it 'almost perfect' and another describing it as 'a bright, sunny and refreshing change'. The series is now available to stream in full on Netflix.
