End applause for the investigation of Captain Eli Taleb and the young priest Clement on France 3.
The channel is indeed broadcasting this Tuesday, July 4, the sixth and final episode of Prière d’Enquête, its detective series led by Sabrina Vaisan (Plan Coeur) and Mathieu Spinos (Clem).
Titled “The Lost Soul,” this final episode also stars Christian Raut, Frédéric Larger, Rémy Pedeviglia, and Francois Caron, and sees Elie return to Valmans to investigate the death of the abbey’s repair site master, led by the Companion du Devoire, who was found. After falling from the top of the lifeless narthex.
Murder or suicide? To find out, Eli will have to explore the secrets of a certain companion’s past. While Clement is doubly upset by what happened in the monastery and meeting his biological parents.
Launched in February 2020 on France 3, Please Investigate, certainly not helped by very sporadic broadcasts. The final three episodes, filmed between June 2021 and July 2022, were only offered in the final weeks.
On June 20 and 27, the series with Sabrina Ouazanne still gave the channel the number one audience, ahead of episodes 4 and 5, with 3.9 and 3.54 million viewers, respectively.
Scores compared to the 3rd episode broadcast in September 2022, which gathered only 3.1 million subscribers, but which remains far from the audience ratings of, for example, Alex Hugo, and certainly will not motivate France 3 to reconsider the decision to arrest, please investigate.
Please explore the stops for new fiction
When asked last fall to finalize this decision to please investigate, Anne Holmes, director of programming and fiction at France Télévisions, explained that she had a feeling the series had made the rounds. Like Font or Crimes parfaits with Isabelle Gélinas, who won’t return to France 3 either.
“The most difficult thing in the prayer of inquiry was to mix religion and inquiry”– Anne Holmes confided. “For the same police de caracteres, where we mixed letters and investigation, which is not the case in L’Art du crime, because we follow a brigade that specializes in works of art, it is easier to weave. And mostly, frankly, us. We also need space, because if we want to launch pilots, we have to stop making certain inventions..
Therefore, please examine the complex formula used over and over again, but also the desire of France Télévisions to launch new fiction, such as the pilots Flair de famille, A l’instinct, Tout le monde ment or Les Pennac(s), all of which will become series and broadcast Will be back with new episodes soon.
Note that next Tuesday, France 3 will rebroadcast the third episode of the prayer to investigate “it was written”, which was first proposed on September 6, 2022.
