66-5

I watched this over a couple of days. I wasn't binge watching but I certainly wanted to know what happened in the next episode.

Many of the plot devices were contrived and not really believable. The worst was the gangster's dog eating duct tape. Subsequently the victim strolling nonchalantly on a country road when he knew the villains were looking for him. It just didn't ring true.

I'm not sure about the device used to get Roxanne back practicing law in Bobigny either after she left her posh law firm in Paris. How does a corporate lawyer suddenly become an accomplished criminal defence advocate?

Flaws aside, this series had enough to keep interest going and the actors were sufficiently competent to be convincing apart from the two guys playing the Boutaleb brothers who just didn't have the right degree of menace.

The series ended on an equivocal note, not really a cliffhanger but with enough wriggleroom to build a second season from. If it is made, I'd watch season two.
