Under control

Marie Tessier, 45, director of an NGO, is appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs on the day when five Europeans, including two French, were taken hostage by terrorists in the Sahel. By making this crisis a personal matter, Marie will quickly cross all the red lines while trying to give the impression that everything is under control.

Our take

This series, which takes place between the Elysée Palace and the Sahel desert region, recounts with humor the uselessness of the political class which revels in believing that everything is “under control”. A quirky political series which reminds us of Parliament and Veep, with a brilliant cast (Léa Drucker, Samir Guesmi and Laurent Stocker) created by Charly Delwart and filmed by Erwan Le Duc (Perdrix).
