When Braquo meet Mad Max
searchanddestroy-126 April 2016
Whatever the way you watch this series, you find here the typical Olivier Marchal's trademark. Even with post apocalyptic settings, it remains a crime story. It could have taken place in Paris, today. Pure Olivier Marchal material. Don't expect any surprise comparing with his other films or series, except the settings. Never expect anything different. If you crave for Olivier Marchal, as I do, that's only for the atmosphere, characters, story lines scheme. NEVER for unusual situations. You love it or you get tired of it. Period.

See for yourself. A vet cop leading a police squad, a cop in total distress, desperately tries to fight against an evil organization who rules the world and who is also involved in a wide drug traffic. So you see, nothing new, nothing exceptional. It's dark, bleak, brutal, depressing...I love it. But on the other hand, I can admit that many folks do not.

Incredible hidden tv show!

A lot of action, shots, unexpected betrayals, unanticipated unions and exciting twists that make the viewer anxious for the next episodes, anything can happen in a dystopian world controlled by multi-nationals that try to get out of their way any well-intentioned person in trying to end the injustices of the world.

The world is a dark place.

This show is not about joy but despair.

Amazing acting and soundtrack, you can feel that the world is at the edge of chaos.

You can taste the personality and depth on each character, and so far this world makes sense, and it's brutal.

Here's our future if mankind keeps on running the path of destruction.

(So far, i've seen only 4 episodes, i don't know how it will be , but so far i enjoy it a lot)

damn 10 lines is too much ( :D )

Marchal Hits The Target Again
pete-collin21 February 2022
Am always surprised at how little attention French productions garner outside of France. Marchal is himself an ex-cop and the gritty realism of his work and his chosen subject matter clearly speaks to that time of his life. This is yet another strong outing from a highly talented actor, writer and director.

As for Section Zero, it is a bold and ambitious piece of work. It lacks the production values of better funded shows, but it's credible, unflinching and compulsive. Marchal also clearly has a talent for eliciting the best out of the actors he works with and a style very much of his own. There's nothing clunky or forced about his work which is typically well paced and devoid of pointless padding.

For any crime buffs out there, I can also give a strong recommendation to Les Lyonnais, Rogue City and The 26th Precinct, to name but a few. Do yourself a favour and check out this guy's work. If the crime genre is your thing, you'll not be disappointed.
