What is it about?
“Just 18 years old, Kevin Laurin, an orphan from the suburbs of Paris, trained by the worst con artists, has become a high-flying con artist, a potential Arsene Lupin. While the police intervene in one of his scams on the Basque coast, he. He refuses to run away and surrenders to everyone’s surprise: he prefers to hang up his gloves until late.
This early retirement takes an unexpected turn when the commissioner hires him to make a special inroad into a murder case. After this “fun” experience, he will have only one idea in his mind: to become a police officer! After all, there is no better way to “crack” criminals than him!
But his noisy arrival at the police station will not be unanimous: if he can count on the trust of Commissioner Trinquant and the goodwill of his young colleague Sophia, for whom he has an undeniable pleasure, things will be much more complicated with Captain Vincent Berro. . This experienced man and special policeman is somewhat rigid but always flawless.
She can’t stand having this unpredictable and uncontrollable child in her paws all the time! A child who also revives old wounds at home… However, this atypical duo soon explodes, between dangerous pursuits and dangerous infiltrations…”
1 season recruit Starts Monday 6th May from 21:10 on TF1.
who is he with
This new detective stars Thierry Neviwick and Ethan Isidore (seen in Indiana Jones 5 with Harrison Ford). They are up against Judith El Zane, Andrea Lovich, Chloe Chaudeaux and Ilian Bergala.
The series was created by Pierre-Yves Mora, Adrienne Denis and Marjorie Bosch. Alexandre Coffre and Alexis Charrier shared the production of the six episodes that make up this first salvo.
Is it worth checking out?
La Recrue combines humor, investigation and emotion quite well. TF1 continues to want to refresh the genre of detective fiction, and it is clear that the channel is diligently continuing its efforts to modernize this type of programming.
In this sense, choose Ethan Isidore (who revealed which iconic sitcom character he’s eyeing on screen) Playing the role of Kevin was wise. The young man is sunny in each of his scenes and his naturalness is disarming. Thanks to the freshness of his interpretation, he moves easily between the comic and the dramatic (we can also applaud his disturbing performance at the end of the season).
In contrast to him, Thierry Neyvich (who, however, is not his first attempt to slip into the shoes of a policeman) offers us something completely different from the usual. The experienced actor is surprising with his humor (alchemy works in a duet) and also with his sensitivity.
Because yes, even if La Recrue is first and foremost a detective series, the emotion (without falling entirely into good feelings… but still a little!) is there, especially thanks to Kevin and Vincent’s difficult personal journeys. Plus, it’s fun to tell their failed love stories… On the investigative side, our tandem missions are fun, and watching Ethan Isidore chain different costumes to make his character go incognito is pretty fun!
Finally, this project takes place in and around Biarritz. Viewing the ocean, beaches and city architecture on TV is a real treat! The natural settings of the series are excellent and really stand out from other series images.
Our heroes persevere through their high-risk assignments… even if we don’t necessarily believe it. As we said, TF1 is going in the right direction, there is progress. But some bad habits still die hard…
