Emma - 2016 - 6/10
What was this? A busted pilot?
Well done, two-part French cop show.
Veteran officer Vitulo is assigned a new partner, Emma, with the runway model looks.
Knowledgeable, quick, yet utterly ignorant in many aspects.
Why? Because she is a test. A prototype android officer.
This concept has been done too many times to reference.
Emma, however is surprisingly, endearingly funny.
Completely clueless about the nuances of law and order.
“Stop! There is a lawbreaker, jaywalking.” Or “Doctor cannot disclose patient information, even dead ones. Criminal.”
Writing is deft and ingenious. Too bad there were only two episodes, or perhaps that is for the best.
