Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
French crime drama's obsession with institutional failure peaked post-2015; this series channels that national skepticism of authority into its marrow.
Béatrice Dalle, French cinema's eternal wild child, reportedly insisted her character smoke real cigarettes—no prop bargaining—to maintain Favard's raw exhaustion.
