Based on real accounts and inspired by contemporary events, this French spy thriller follows the daily lives and missions of members of the country's external security service -- France's equivalent of the CIA. It focuses on intelligence officer Guillaume Debailly, code named "Malotru," who is mysteriously recalled to Paris after spending six years under cover in Syria. As he tries to re-connect with his daughter, ex-wife and colleagues, Debailly risks everything by resuming contact with his married lover, Nadia, who might have secrets of her own that jeopardize the agent.

James M @Realmac May 18 I had this on my must watch list for years. Just finished season 2 and this is one of the great tv series. It's like reading a fantastic book you can't put down. Fantastic story lines with twists and turns you never see coming. A show that the US could never make with such class and subtletyy. The best espionage drama I've ever seen. See more Bronskrat P. @Bronskrat Feb 22 Best and most realistic spy drama ever created on TV. It's meticulous and complex and deserves every accolade. Might be too realistic for some meaning it's not 007 and more about planning and the subtle manipulations of relationships and interactions. It's like The Wire on spying. See more Debra T @RT67420294 12/22/2024 Excellent all round- terrific acting etc Only one quibble- Brad Leland’s character- one cannot hear anything he is saying due to bad projection of speech!! A shame I can’t get English subtitles just for what he is saying! Otherwise - best series for a long time! D.Thompson See more Aaron M @RT04058057 05/09/2024 This is my favorite show of all time. I watched all five seasons in 5 days! I couldn't get enough! I love how this series doesn't leave you waiting and doesn't use a bunch of plot devices to drag the action out. I highly recommend this show for anybody that likes action thrillers. See more Max K @RT09057176 02/06/2024 Such a refreshing pace. No crazy chases, no blowing up everything around. Loved it. See more Mikael K @Mikael281 10/07/2023 One of the best spy tv series I've seen. Smart, great actors and good directing. Script superb. See more Read all reviews
