This high-profile Canal + production immerses us in the daily dramas taking place in a top-secret department of French Intelligence. Eric Rochant’s brainchild leaves behind the explosions and the gunplay in favor of a more restrained and sober look at the Bureau of Legends, where agents hone elaborate undercover identities (legends) by mastering entirely new skill sets and professions. In the first season, top agent Guillaume Debailly (Mathieu Kassovitz) returns to Paris after a six-year mission in Damascus as Paul Lefebvre, professor of literature. But when Paul’s lover Nadia comes to Paris as well, Guillaume decides to maintain a double life as Paul, despite being under the microscope of bureau psychiatrist Dr Balmes. Meanwhile, the Legends team works to rescue Cyclone, an operative in Algeria who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. In season 2, Guillaume, now deputy director of the department, becomes a double agent for the CIA.
