I am somewhat disappointed. In itself it is all quite strong, the acting performances are strong. At times so strong that I could even empathize with Bourg. I even had some sympathy for him at times, right up to the end. He was an excellent performer in his role, which gave me this feeling about him. The rest of the cast is largely the same, all of them performed excellently.
The story was also very interesting to me, it is beautifully and clearly portrayed. I'm especially disappointed with the last episode. It's all very promising, the final story is also fine, but that's where it should have stopped. No Oliver in Russia. In itself this could have been done, but then the story would have had to be such that Tony had gone completely crazy. From the drawing at the beginning of the episode, we know that's not the case. The story of how he disappeared had been good and strong in itself. I think it's a shame that they went a little too far with this. Especially now that I know that season 2 contains a completely different story and so nothing more is done with it.
In itself it is all so far from bad, it still gets a large enough. I just wish the ending was different.

Yes, good acting, especially from Nesbitt, and the first episode leaves a bitter knot in the stomach. The developments after that may also be there, but the denouement that Oliver was hit by the hotel man I find a bit tame. Like indeed the boot scene with Ian, his wife and Bourg, which nikki says. Or that you wouldn't notice that a bunch of people including a child have been in your house.
It is a relief in a series/film that the detective for once does not struggle with a drinking, drug or gambling problem or something else bad to make him 'raw and realistic'. Nice character, that Baptiste.
I think the ending is strong: the search in Russia, especially given Baptiste's advice just before that scene: something like "Go home and pick up the thread".
But the search for Oliver is precisely his 'home', at least all he has. In the end he derails and ends up far away, the drawing made (or imagined) himself. A kind of symbolic ending, depressing like the beginning of the series, while his ex goes on with her life. Appropriate ending.

Great season. It was a bit of a kick in for the first two episodes, but couldn't stop watching after that. I was amazed at the quality of the acting in this series: Tchéky Karyo, Frances O'Connor, Ken Stott, but especially James Nesbitt managed to convince. He played a 'dick', who nevertheless showed what he is capable of out of love for his son. Julien Baptiste is also a lovely character, which fortunately is central to the entire series.
What I am especially happy about is that the denouement did not disappoint. The season always gives small hints to what exactly happened and it is always a shame if the outcome is too far-fetched. I didn't think that was the case here at all. The French setting also made this season very enjoyable to watch. The last 5 minutes, which for many people are a bit disappointing, I did not find repulsive. On the contrary.
Already halfway through the second season. So far I think it's a little less, but who knows what I'll think about it later.
