List of The Bureau episodes

The Bureau is a French drama series first aired on Canal+ and in France entitled Le Bureau des Légendes.

Based on actual accounts by former spies and inspired by contemporary events, The Bureau centres on the daily life and missions of spies within the DGSE (General Directorate for External Security - the French equivalent of the United States's CIA or the UK's MI6), and its department in charge of most undercover agents, known as the Bureau of Legends. Working at key locations worldwide and living under false identities (or 'legends') for years, these agents' missions are identifying potential sources.

The series focuses on French intelligence officer Guillaume "Malotru" Debailly (Mathieu Kassovitz), who returns to the French capital after six years undercover in Syria. He has to face the challenge of reconnecting with his daughter, ex-wife, colleagues, and even his old self. But returning to 'normal life' proved difficult, especially when informed that Nadia, his lover in Damascus, is also in Paris. For love, he is willing to take risks for himself and the Bureau.
