What is Saint-Pierre about?
The Canadian drama, which first aired in January 2025, follows two seasoned detectives who are forced to team up to solve unique and puzzling crimes.

The synopsis continues: "Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. Saint-Pierre is a police procedural with French star Josephine Jobert as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy rounding out the stellar team.
"As if by fate, these two seasoned officers - with very different policing skills and approaches - are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tends to wash up on its beautiful shores."
It concludes: "At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together… a veritable crime-fighting force."
