All eight series of the acclaimed French police drama starring Grégory Fitoussi, Caroline Proust and Thierry Godard. In the first series, the discovery of a young woman's badly-beaten body on a rubbish tip in Paris sets in motion a police investigation that unravels a trail of corruption leading from the dark worlds of prostitution and drugs to the halls of government, business and the judiciary itself. In the second series, public prosecutor Pierre Clement (Fitoussi) once again joins forces with Police Captain Laure Berthaud (Proust) and crusading judge Francois Roban (Philippe Duclos) to infiltrate Paris's underworld of organised crime, international drugs trafficking and arms dealing. During the third series, the emergence of a brutal serial killer offers Berthaud the chance to restore her reputation, but will her very determination to track down the killer lead her over the edge? In the fourth series, defence lawyer Joséphine Karlsson (Audrey Fleurot) risks all by attempting to defend the rights of a group of unwelcome immigrants. Meanwhile, Berthaud finds herself in the thick of the action when she is seconded to an anti-gang unit shadowing the activities of dissident students engaged in bomb-making. In the fifth series, Berthaud and her team are tasked with solving the double murder of a mother and daughter whose bodies are discovered in a canal. During their investigation they are led to a group of bank robbers while trying to search for missing members of the deceased's family. In the sixth series, after Berthaud returns to work early from maternity leave, she and her team are tasked with solving a murder case after an anonymous dismembered victim is discovered. In the seventh series, Gilou (Godard) and Berthaud reunite to investigate the murder of their former commissioner, Herville (Nicolas Briançon). Joined by Gilou's new partner Ali (Tewfik Jallab), the team find themselves on the trail of a teenage gang member which leads them to uncover an expansive money laundering operation. In the eighth series, a murder investigation into the death of a young Moroccan boy results in Berthaud and her team dealing closing in on a network of drug-smuggling. Gilou is freed from prison however his strict parole conditions place limits on his ability to assist. Meanwhile, lawyer Karlsson is compromised by drug traffickers looking to bribe their way to safety.
