Synopsis

The eighties. Belgian Gendarmes, led by a CIA agent, hunt drug dealers but turn criminal. Jan Laureys, gendarme against his will, and with a drug past, sees an opportunity for a life of fun. As his team spirals, he slacks off – but how long before his shortcuts catch up to him?

Note from the artistic direction

Dive into the heart of the 80s, within a special unit of Belgian police led by a CIA agent, where the hunt for criminals will soon turn to chaos. Bold aesthetics and biting humor bring life to a story as fast-paced as it is irreverent. In a quirky and exuberant world, breakout star Willem de Schryver captivates with his intensity and magnetic presence. A series that brilliantly blends action and satire.
