A look at Le Bureau des Légendes (The Bureau)
Un regard sur Le Bureau des Légendes
Résumé
"The Bureau des Légendes (English title: The Bureau) has been proclaimed as a landmark series in fictional depictions of intelligence. Promotional campaigns stressed the ``realistic'' qualities of the storyline. Despite this, the series tends to reproduce the lack of distinction between espionage and intelligence. Its main innovation is an aesthetic one, where its foreign ``equivalents'' provide more explicit theories regarding threats, and a lack of success in the operations led by the protagonists can be questioned."
