Plot

Captain Kader Cherif is a genius policemen in the Lyon-France police station. With his strange ways he always cracks the mystery, and doesn’t leave work much, since he lives across the street from the station. But things change when his new partner - Adeline Briard shows up. She likes to work by the book and doesn’t like Cherif’s ways of doing it. Would things work out? The series falls into everyday things in the life of Kader and a mystery that he solves with his mastermind. They are always interesting and while Adeline is working with what she sees, and with what she can - Cherif thinks outside the box : and always finds a lead.

Development

In 2010, France 2 called for proposals for a new television series. Lionel Olenga, co-producer along with Laurent Scalese and Stephane Drouet, aimed to create a cop show that was more entertaining. Having worked for the customs for 13 years, he used to listen to TV series musics during his stakeouts. that is this "unrealistic" side that he will give to Cherif.

In early 2015, the channel renewed the series for a third season due to positive feedback from the second season.[1] Adbdelhafid Metalsi (Kader Cherif) confirmed that on January 30, 2015 that the third season was in the process of being written.[2]

Shooting

Contrary to the series' usual production methods, it was shot twice, once from October 15 to December 7, 2012 (episodes 1 to 4) and then from February 11 to April 5, 2013 (episodes 5 to 8).
