The Bureau Season 3

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The deliberately slow moving series explores the world of the DGSE, the French intelligence/counterintelligence agency, but is also a tragic love story.
The slow pace doesn’t preclude a constant flow of tense and gripping moments. Writing, acting, directing,editing, audio, set design – all aspects of production – are top notch. The story is believable, the characters have complex, multidimensional personalities. The atmosphere effectively fluctuates from high-tech mundane to exotically stylish, to downright gritty.
People who like John Le Carré should enjoy “The Bureau”, but so will “24 h” fans if they can accept the less flashy and action-oriented tone.
Entertaining, sometimes genuinely interesting and in the end, moving, this is probably the best French TV Series ever made, certainly the best I’ve ever seen. An instant TV-classic and a must-see for viewers who enjoy good television.

This is an outstanding series — based on the edited, true accounts of French intelligence agents which have been grafted onto current events. The acting is excellent, the pace is tense, and the suspense is taut. I give it my highest recommendation for intelligent, compelling viewing. It is in French with subtitles.

Never write reviews, but this gem is worth a few words. This immersive series is a noir espionage blend. Extremely well written and acted without histrionics or glorification of violence. As other European series of this genre pace is slower with attention to details of character and narrative development while the tension is subtle and psychological. Moreover, the complexities of contemporary Middle Eastern politics and culture is captured in ways not seen in the US. The downside of a European series of this caliber is that like a fine wine the bar gets raised and the other stuff just doesn’t go down as well.
