Plot

edit

Captain Kader Cherif is a brilliant and unconventional policeman in the Lyon-France police station. With his strange ways he always cracks the mystery set upon him, and doesn’t leave work much, since he lives across the street from the station. But things change when his new partner, Adeline Briard, shows up. She likes to work by the book and doesn’t like Cherif’s work ethics and ways. Would things work out between the duo? The series falls into everyday situations in Kader’s life and a mystery that he solves with his brilliant detective skills and mastermind thinking . And while Adeline is working with what she sees and with what she has on hand, Cherif thinks outside the box, uses his own methods, and manages to solve the case.

Development

edit

In 2010, France 2 called for proposals for a new television series. Lionel Olenga, co-producer along with Laurent Scalese and Stephane Drouet, aimed to create a cop show that was more entertaining. Having worked for the customs for 13 years, he used to listen to TV series music during stakeouts. Cherif does so as well.

In early 2015, the channel renewed the series for a third season due to positive feedback from the second season.[1] Adbdelhafid Metalsi (Kader Cherif) confirmed that on January 30, 2015 that the third season was in the process of being written.[2]

Shooting

edit

Contrary to the series' usual production methods, it was shot twice, once from October 15 to December 7, 2012 (episodes 1 to 4) and then from February 11 to April 5, 2013 (episodes 5 to 8). The series finale is Season 6, Episode 12, which aired in February 2019.

Broadcast and Streaming

edit

As of July 2022, Series 1 through 4 are available in the United States on the MHz streaming channel.
