"Saint Pierre" starts with an interesting premise but quickly ruins it.

As is so often the case these days, the insistence on playing woke politics, largely undermines any pleasure that might have been derived from this series.

This time around its predominantly gender politics that take centre stage, with the male lead consistently undermined and sniped at, often through no clear fault of his own. Its tiresome stuff, that sours any potential for chemistry, between the main characters.

Looking beyond this, the setting of a small French territory off the coast of Canada, I had no idea even existed, is novel. The crime tales are pretty standard fare but not special in any way either.

In summary, the need to play woke politics in entertainment needs to end. Its nasty, divisive and detracts from the enjoyment of a series to the point where I personally, simply wont watch, if I see it, to a measurable degree. Its clear too, looking at the catastrophic ratings of films and series that embrace it, I'm not alone. Not one I can recommend.
