Her peace and that of her two teenagers, whom she is raising alone, will take a big hit! And what was supposed to be temporary will last much longer than expected.

But what Lola didn’t see coming is that Tommy, in addition to being her roommate, will become her teammate in PJ! He actually had the brilliant idea of ​​being recruited into the same brigade. Twenty-four hours a day, roommates and colleagues, that’s a ticket to trouble, right?

For better or for worse, Tommy comes into her life… but how long will this 3.0 family last? We’re going to cross our fingers very…very hard that there isn’t too much damage to the office or home. Between investigations, kids and exes to manage, nothing is less certain!

who is he with

In this new colorful detective series we find no less than three actors who made their debut in Plus belle la vie. Dunya Cousens, who played the role of Johanna, takes on the role of Lola, an evil police officer who really does not like to follow protocol.

Elodie Varlett played Estelle in everyday life for a long time, but this time she will take on the role of Gale, a crazy forensic doctor with a strong personality. For his part, Grégoire Paturel lends his qualities to Jordan, a young policeman who is a far cry from his character Louis in Plus belle la vie.

But our three exiles also play opposite Pierre-Yves Bon, who plays Tom, Lola’s best friend and sidekick. A former STUPS officer, the young man is more rule-abiding than his counterpart.

Meanwhile, Yasin Hitch plays Mehdi, a member of Lola’s team specializing in social media, and Evelyn El Garbi Clay plays Susanna, Tommy and Lola’s superior.

Finally, Eva Lippmann (Morgan), Gabin Vissona (Alexis) and also Lilo Aimee play the duo’s respective children.

is it worth watching

Tom and LolaThis is the new police series from France 3! Like Tandem, fiction aims to capture a large audience and span multiple seasons. But then, do the first episodes live up to Astrid Waylon’s franchise? The answer is a big yes!

Of course, we find a common classic pattern in police investigations, as our two heroes are opposites of each other. While Lola is particularly messy, chaotic, and unwilling to follow protocol at all times, Tom is smart and law-abiding.

And if these two are best friends, then everything changes when they are forced to live and work together. Despite their brilliant co-starring, their forced cohabitation causes them a lot of arguments, but that’s the strength of the series. Their pairing works perfectly from the very first minutes of the pilot!

It’s fresh, it’s funny, and we can even doubt that Dounia Cozens and Pierre-Yves Bon are really acting as natural and spontaneous as their relationship seems.

Plus, finding the former Plus belle la vie star in a role that’s the polar opposite of other characters she’s played so far is a real treat. Sometimes charming, sometimes a childish woman, sometimes filled with events, as if she is having fun in Lola’s skin and is a sight to behold.

The same can be said about the character played by Elodie Varlett. Far from the sweet Estelle, the actress slips into Gaele’s skin, strikingly at ease with the crazed forensic doctor’s stony expression and strong tongue. Very different from his previous roles, but a very interesting role.

Perhaps what we enjoy the most is seeing how well the characters are written and how well they work together. Everyone is important and the group dynamic is brilliant.

And where the series excels is the friendship that bonds our two heroes. Yes, they argue, but they also love each other. They already know each other, which is a major asset to this series, and we can only feel invested in the dog-cat relationship.

Also, we’re not going to lie, the chemistry between our two characters is such that we already want to see them, perhaps on the move… In short, the first episodes won us over and we can’t wait. to see what happens next. Don’t miss the launch of Tom and Lola tonight on France 3.
