I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I loved the first episodes of the the series. Set in Paris, it features a french police brigade.It has some nudity, violence and action with a French accent and flavour. Nice and refreshing since most shows are about the American or English reality. Unfortunately, the crudeness that was interesting and refreshing in the first episodes goes on and on. It is as if the plot is always the same, a group of hard policemen and women that fight crime not really caring about the law. They kill the villain. Then comes another.... So, murder after murder and law violation after law violation, the cops always get away with it. It gets unbelievable.... It should have lasted one or two seasons and give it a good finale as a prize. Some characters manage to disappear from season to season without much explanation, probably the actors weren't available...

I really liked and enjoyed Braquo's first season, a gritty, crude, climactic production with a very fine script and remarkable performances. It was a pleasure to watch.The rest of the seasons were noticeable inferior to me, basically in terms of the storytelling and script-writing, while the performances and production remained equally good.While the first was more subtle and rich with nuances, the remaining seasons were more "commercial" and a bit cheap to me, introducing too many unbelievable situations, cartoon-like characters and extremely violent scenes which were as unnecessary as excessive.Even so, despite the slope down, it is a fine show which will delight dirty cops and gore lovers.

Plot: A team of corrupt French cops fight crime whilst trying to avoid being exposed by Internal Affairs.The first series is a wonderfully testosterone soaked affair as the police squad try to take down the criminal responsible for the death of their boss, only to find themselves hunted by an Infernal Affairs team. To hide their crimes they are forced into taking increasingly desperate measures, which usually only serve to make things worse. Trapped in a negative spiral, each episode is more tense than the last, and there is a real thrill in seeing whether they can get away with it all. The second series takes the just-about-believable sex and violence and amps it up to ludicrous levels with flame-throwers, science-fictional guns, and a massive conspiracy turning up. The (now disgraced) police team is forced to infiltrate a team of ex-French Special Forces who have stolen a shipment of gold which they want to sell on the black market to fund their revenge mission on the French bureaucrats who betrayed them. Expect lots on the seamy side of French government (which is most of it) and its less than salubrious foreign policy in its former colonies in Africa.This is a very French series. All the men are ferociously grizzled, and almost all the women beautiful. There is plentiful nudity and plenty of action too, with gun fights, heists and kidnappings most episodes - yet it never becomes outright titillation as it would in an American series. The characterisation is surprisingly good, with the criminals being especially memorable. It is also nice to see the French not holding back on just who actually commits crime. I suspect that the show is fairly divorced from the reality of French policing, and the second series is sometimes too silly to stomach comfortably, but with the surfeit of manly shows on British TV this has been a welcome change which became a firm guilty pleasure for me.

This french mini series came from nowhere and immediately had me stuck in front of the TV until the last episode.I really enjoyed "The shield" but I find "Braquo" being even better. It's nice to see something this good coming from Europe for a change."Braquo" is a story about a group of cops that use really rough methods handling criminals during their investigations and soon gets the attention of internal affairs that does anything in their attempts to bring them down. "Braquo" is dark, violent and really exciting.if you're wondering how to spend a couple of hours then this is the answer. Enjoy.
