Set in a small coastal village in France, this is a quiet thriller of crime and dark secrets. The opening sequence takes place in a house just put out for sale. In it, the discovery of what appears to be the dead family in the house, implicates the former chief-of-police to the plot. The now-retired chief-of-police, having made a lot of enemies in his past career, is recovering from a car crash which he barely survived.<\/p>\n \n\n \n

In the world of television, where police procedurals and crime dramas are a dime a dozen, finding a show that stands out from the crowd can be a challenge. Enter “Braquo,” a French series that hit the small screen in 2009 and quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Unlike its contemporaries, “Braquo” doesn’t just tread the well-worn path of cops versus criminals. Instead, it dives headlong into the murky waters of moral ambiguity, presenting characters who operate in shades of grey rather than black and white. <\/p>\n

The Premise<\/h2>\n

At its core, “Braquo” follows a group of police officers working in the high-pressure environment of the SDPJ (Sous-Direction de la Police Judiciaire), a division of the French police. However, these are not your average TV cops. After one of their own is wrongly accused of criminal misconduct and takes his own life, the team decides to take matters into their own hands, crossing the line into criminal activity themselves. This decision sets off a chain reaction, plunging them deeper into the criminal underworld and blurring the lines between right and wrong.<\/p>\n

Characters and Their Complexity<\/h2>\n

One of the strengths of “Braquo” lies in its characters. Each member of the team is fleshed out, with their motivations, fears, and flaws laid bare. <\/p>\n
