We continue with action and investigations in a dark and mysterious universe. The series seems rather violent and not aimed at the sensitive souls if we rely on the trailers and the pitch. A la rédac' is a genre that titillates us and that we like a lot. Therefore, we highly recommend it because the gift of this woman may be the engine of the drama!
