The TVI Take
A French police procedural following the overlapping worlds of police, prosecutors, lawyers, and judges in Paris. The most detailed portrayal of the French legal system in drama — educational about inquisitorial vs adversarial legal processes.
Exceptional craft across eight seasons. Better than comparable American procedurals in institutional complexity.
