Les Hommes de l'ombre

Les Hommes de l'ombre (2012) 

Purely in terms of genre it is flawless. It is well-paced, a believable course of events, it can be exciting, behind the scenes political betrayals during the tense presidential campaign even downright excellent (and thanks to the fact that one of the candidates uses fear of terrorism as his weapon and the other one "sunshine" approach, so it is actually up-to-date). Compared to the movies it lags behind in terms of characters that sadly follow the standard and predictable pattern. The introductory embarrassing episode, which pretends to be a completely different kind of the series than what it turns out to be in the second episode, does not help it at all. | S1: 4/5 | (14/03/2016)
