      Season 1 – Le bureau des légendes

      2015 Crime Drama Mystery & Thriller List
      Reviews 93% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings Based on real accounts and inspired by contemporary events, this French spy thriller follows the daily lives and missions of members of the country's external security service -- France's equivalent of the CIA. It focuses on intelligence officer Guillaume Debailly, code named "Malotru," who is mysteriously recalled to Paris after spending six years under cover in Syria. As he tries to re-connect with his daughter, ex-wife and colleagues, Debailly risks everything by resuming contact with his married lover, Nadia, who might have secrets of her own that jeopardize the agent.

      Aaron M This is my favorite show of all time. I watched all five seasons in 5 days! I couldn't get enough! I love how this series doesn't leave you waiting and doesn't use a bunch of plot devices to drag the action out. I highly recommend this show for anybody that likes action thrillers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Max K Such a refreshing pace. No crazy chases, no blowing up everything around. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Mikael K One of the best spy tv series I've seen. Smart, great actors and good directing. Script superb. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review John S Excellent program. Strange to read that one 1-star audience review where the viewer complains that the French spies constantly make preposterous escapes from improbable situations and that nobody is ever really at risk, when this is the exact thing that always happens in American shows and does not at all happen in this series. In this one there is real risk, but it is subtle and tense, with minimal violence but very real danger, which seems much more realistic. Very occasionally people die, but not onscreen, and for banal or strategic reasons not in a blaze of glory. Extremely compelling and intelligent show that genuinely seems to represent real spying events as it claims to. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Just so bland. They do the thing that a lot of French series do, which is they make sure every plotline has a happy ending no matter what, complete with sugary music. In an series about international espinage, forcing happy endings on everything is really unsatisfying. You won't believe the easy exits people make from supposedly dangerous situations, but the writers won't let anyone come to any real harm. It's like a soap opera where no one can be injured or be in real trouble. Avoid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Some of the best tv ever made. Incredible ensemble cast Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
