I'm impressed by this low key serie. Clive Owen is magnetic here and the support cast is very good. Slow burn, but in a good way. These are not fast paced lives that we are watching. The mood is top notch, giving 60s and 70s french detective vibe.
I've got to give huge props to the production for getting french actors, who speak real french. I can't believe an american TV show went to this length, but it's very appreciated for a native french speaking watcher. Any other way would have made this unwatchable. It really brings us into the world and makes us relate to Spade feeling uneasy.
After two episodes I'm hooked to the mystery and the only small caveat is that I wish the dialogue was a little less « written », as everything sound like savy oneliners.
But otherwise, I recommend it!
