The sheriff is not the title of the main character, it is his surname, by origin he is an Algerian Arab Kader Cherif, who grew up in France, as well as the performer of this role Abdelhafid Metalsi. He serves in the same Lyon police station, has the rank of captain and a reputation as a successful crime solver. He lives in a house directly opposite the police station, so his personal life is closely intertwined with the official one, besides his ex-wife (she, by the way, is a Jew) is a lawyer and often acts as an advocate for the criminals he arrests, and he himself often uses non-standard methods of investigation, one of which is drinking tea with some witnesses at his house. He is also famous for his character and unfailing disarming smile. In addition, he is a big fan of detective series, from which he even occasionally draws ideas for solving crimes. From time to time, his partners and partners change, most of the series is occupied with reflecting his work with his partner Adeline Brillard, who for a very long time resists the establishment of a closer relationship between them, because she came to Lyon to investigate the death of her brother, declared a suicide, which she does not believe. She is a serious, restrained and purposeful woman. She will exist in the plot until the beginning of season 5, and then leave (actress Karol Bianic, who played her, will marry and have a child), so you will have to replace her with another partner. Melodramatic lines are constantly interwoven into the fabric of the narrative, and sometimes are the causes of crimes. As I read somewhere, there are actually quite a few murders in Lyon, so their number in the series is somewhat exaggerated. And, interestingly, the characters of the series from time to time, as it were, play the series themselves, which is especially emphasized in the last series and its ending. So at times it looks parody, but the French are the French. But effortlessly watched this six-season series with simple cases and successful, mostly detectives.
