Title: Marseille
Review: the legendary Depardieu makes a rare small screen appearance in this tale of power, corruption and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the French port city of Marseille. Deep dive into the bowels of dirty French politics in France’s poor cousin, second city. Strong performances abound and the juxtaposition of the famous and historical ancient port city with its modern crime ridden, drug infested and woefully anti-immigration counterpart is stunning. Kept me very engaged throughout and seems set for a third season return. Very, very Francais.
