Balthazar, it’s over. After 5 seasons, the detective series hosted by Tomer Sisley came to TF1 this Thursday, February 23, due to a shocking finale with many twists.
this year”The game is over”, Camille (Constance Labbe) learned that Maya (Leslie Medina) had just escaped from prison thanks to Alexander. The infernal duo is back.
