MUST-WATCH

BollyMeter8.7/10Season 2 deepened the ensemble dynamics and pushed the moral complexity of all three institutional tracks further; UK critics on BBC Four were by this point calling it essential viewing.

What BollyAI Thinks

Season 2 returned in 2008 with the same ensemble and a new case, consolidating the show's reputation in France and accelerating its BBC Four audience in the UK. The defence lawyer Josephine Karlsson - morally flexible, professionally brilliant - had emerged as a distinctive character type rarely seen in crime television: a lawyer the audience is invited to find both useful and troubling. The police unit under Berthaud was by this point a fully established world, its internal politics and personal crises as developed as the criminal investigation it served. Season 2 confirmed the series was not a one-case experiment but a sustainable architecture.
