Les espions de la terreur

This is an excellent mini-series following French security services after terrorist attacks in Paris and Nice.

It's like a stand alone story from the brilliant French show The Bureau of Legends and a nice companion piece to the similar Spanish show La Unidad.

Unlike other shows and movies we're not seeing anyone actually under cover - with their legend - and there's little in the way of action, although there is some.

There are a couple of stakeouts and one character repeatedly flying off to other locations but mostly it's meetings and politics with a small p, and various agents carrying out their investigations and contacting their 'assets' for help.

Tension is maintained. The episodes are just short of an hour and whizzed by.
