Captain Marleau is a French television show that follows the eponymous police captain, played by Corinne Masiero, as she solves crimes in her unconventional and brilliant way. In season 1 episode 2 titled The House of the Meyer Sisters, Captain Marleau finds herself investigating the murder of a wealthy real estate mogul.
The victim, Max Meyer, was found dead in the swimming pool of his luxurious mansion, which he shared with his three eccentric sisters. The sisters - Gladys, Lily, and Maguy - who are all over 70, seem to have a strange relationship with each other and with their deceased brother. Captain Marleau quickly realizes that the sisters are keeping secrets and that they may have more to do with their brother's death than they are willing to admit.
As Marleau delves deeper into the case, she discovers a complex web of family dynamics, hidden motives, and deceit. Along the way, she meets some interesting characters, including Meyer's scheming former business partner, a young man who was involved with one of the sisters, and a quirky couple who live nearby.
Despite the quirky characters and setting, the investigation itself is serious business, and Marleau is determined to get to the bottom of it. Her unorthodox methods - such as pretending to be a cleaning lady in order to gain access to the mansion - sometimes puzzle her colleagues and superiors, but they ultimately prove effective in solving the crime.
As Marleau uncovers more and more clues, the tension builds, and the audience is kept guessing until the very end. The show is a mix of humor and drama, with Masiero's Captain Marleau stealing the show with her strange but lovable personality and keen investigative skills.
Overall, The House of the Meyer Sisters is a captivating episode that showcases the unique style of Captain Marleau and sets the tone for the rest of the season. Fans of crime dramas and unconventional detectives will enjoy this episode and eagerly anticipate what adventures Captain Marleau will get into next.
