Trivia
Shot in early 2016, the series was meant to air in November of that year in France and did premiere at a TV festival in September, but its broadcast was delayed first to spring 2017, then November 2017 before finally sticking to May 2018. These successive delays were due to the French presidential elections and the airing of two programs also starring lead Bruno Solo on sister channels France 2 and France 5: Blood on the Docks (2011) and La Guerre des trônes, la véritable histoire de l'Europe (2017). As such, despite being a French production the series only aired in France long after being broadcast in Belgium and even the USA.

Not credible

Forensics departments who miss the most basic of clues, a mafia man rampaging through the town seemingly unseeable by and invisible to the cops, characters keeping secrets for no reason when their revelation would have immediately solved the cases of their loved ones' deaths. The list goes on. It's a mishmash of clichéed plot devices that don't really hold water and that simply give an excuse to add another episode.

I admit it, I watched till the end. But we're locked down and there's only so much reading and surfing to be done. I wouldn't have stuck it out otherwise.
