The trouble with this series is it has good production values and decent acting so the first episode draws you in. There's a silly bit in the second or third episode where some guys start blasting everyone with sub machine guns - yet nobody bats an eyelid - ah of course this happens a lot in in France.
You hope the silly bit is an exception but the nonsense builds and builds.
Later it turns out it's former French Foreign Legion guys, in fact they're everywhere - plotting and being evil - so normal behaviour.
The guy who ends up the number two character is so detached it's bizarre.
The story goes from silly to downright ludicrous in the last episode - an evil professor appears from nowhere. His villa is a fancy French trad pad at the front - yet walk round the back and it's a decaying 19th century industrial complex on the docks - oh but lovely to film in. The director did an OK job but the writer should have been sacked - if they'd made a standard cop series it could have worked. The obsession with stupid twists drives me mad. Merde.
