Launched March 15 on France 3, Face à Face, a new detective comedy that explores two opposing half-sister tandems, one investigator and the other supervisor, reached a good score on the channel, gathering 3.7 million viewers. The launch party (18.6% PDA) and the second week of its broadcast, or 18% of the audience.
The successful loyalty of the public in each episode closed with investigations around this detective series, led by Claire Borrotra (Justin) and Constance Gay (Vanessa). A well-worn formula, but an approach from another angle: the study of cooperation between the judiciary and the police.
For Justin, Vanessa blames her father, who had a hidden child with a woman other than her mother. “He who retained part of his idealism and faith in the figure of his father will have to reinvent the whole system of faith. At the same time, Vanessa was built unlike her older sister to exist and have her own identity, as is often the case with siblings.“, Analyzes the screenwriter Jan Le Gaul.He systematically denies everything else.”
Highlighting the original rock and pop subtitles compiled by Romain Triulet and Fleming Nordkog, the series also has recent song titles, to put it mildly, as it is a cover of a 2000s hit song that contrasts with the music production. Commonly used in detective series.
“Admittedly, not often, it’s very funny to use a song that is a cover“, Explains the producer.For reference, this is K-Maro’s song, Femme Like U, which is nonetheless the testosterone emblem covered by Cœur de pirate, which is the emblem of sweetness, the boy’s song that speaks to women! We thought it would fit very well into the series. It is Jeff Jenny who allowed us to have this song and we found that it fits in very well with the identity of the series.“
“I love credits, I’m a fan!– adds Claire Borotra.It gives a real modernity, I think. And the last sections of the episodes that continue to live on this music in part during the credits, that’s an idea Julian (ZidThe director of the series, who died in 2021, editor’s note.) There are some innovative things that make us happy and update the genre a bit.“
