We recently ranked our 25 Best TV Shows Of 2016 So Far, and we know it’s a lot to dive into, but you might want to make room for one more show on your must-watch list: “The Bureau.” The spy series as a massive hit in France, and now Kino Lorber is bringing it to U.S. shores. Today we have an exclusive peek at the drama.
Starring Mathieu Kassovitz, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, and Sara Giraudeau, the show revolves around French intelligence officer Guillaume “Malotru” Debailly, who returns to Paris after six years as an undercover agent in Syria, and struggles to reconnect with his daughter, ex-wife, colleagues and even his old self. But after learning that his lover in Syria is now in Paris, Guillaume breaks agency rules and approaches her as the man he was in Damascus, Paul Lefebvre, and begins living a dangerous double life. And in this exclusive clip, you can see Guillaume train a new recruit in the tricks of the spy trade.
The first season of “The Bureau” is now available exclusively on iTunes.
