Product Description

United Kingdom released, Blu-Ray/Region B DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 5.1 ), French ( Dolby DTS-HD Master Audio ), English ( Subtitles ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Box Set, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Braquo: Season 1: A dark realistic cop series from world-famous filmmaker and former police office Olivier Marchal. Braquo (slang for Heist) follows a squad of Paris cops who exist in the blurred boundaries at the very edge of the law, often using violence and intimidation to get the job done. The lives of these officers change radically when their squad leader, falsely accused of corruption, commits suicide. Determined to clear his name they start an investigation of their own, only to find that the police department itself stands in their way. Driven by adrenaline and a thirst for justice, they must turn their backs on the laws they're sworn to enforce if they are to uncover the truth. Facing constant danger from all sides - and with the two most likely outcomes being imprisonment or death - the stakes couldn't be higher, but that merely serves to crank up the tension in this acclaimed series. Braquo: Season 2: The incendiary series 2 of Braquo. Rejected by their peers and superiors alike, Eddy and his renegade team suffer the shame and disgrace of going from hunters to the hunted. Caught in the crossfire of a gang war, the road to redemption will be long and difficult, and they can no longer rely on themselves alone to avoid a total fall from grace. ...Braquo - Complete Seasons 1 & 2 - 4-Disc Box Set ( Braquo - Complete Seasons One and Two ) (Blu-Ray)

Season 1 is great. Season 2, not so much. They are filming (or are done?) Season 3 which is the final season.
Let's hope it's more like the former.
By the way, imo The Shield which is similar in a way is still much better though.

I love this series, can't wait for season 3. But yeah season 2 was inferior but still pretty good. It's gritty, dark and quite innovative for a French T.V series...

I've enjoyed the entire series as well. Season 2 ended with a bang and I have high hopes for the third and final season.
