Braquo is a French crime drama television series created by Olivier Marchal and produced by Capa Drama with the participation of Canal+ in association with Marathon Group, Be-Films and RTBF. It was first broadcast in France from 12 October to 2 November 2009.

The first season established a record audience for an original production of the channel, and has surpassed that of many U.S. productions broadcast by the network. The second season started on Canal+ on 21 November 2011. A third and apparently final season was announced by lead actor Jean-Hugues Anglade in 2011. However, the ending of the third season with two separate plot strands left unfinished suggests a possible return. The series is available from Hulu as of September 2013.

Series 4 started shooting on 2 February at Marseille and was due to end on 12 June 2015 in Paris to air later in 2015 or early 2016.

The name of the series comes from the French word braquage, meaning armed robberies, particularly of banks.

Plot

The protagonists are four police agents in the Hauts-de-Seine area of Paris: Eddy Caplan (Jean-Hugues Anglade), Walter Morlighem (Joseph Malerba), Théo Vachewski (Nicolas Duvauchelle) and Roxanne Delgado (Karole Rocher). Their colleague Max Rossi (Olivier Rabourdin) is wrongly accused of criminal misconduct, and commits suicide. His guilt is then presumed, disrupting the lives of the other four. The four then decide to "cross the yellow line": do whatever is necessary, even breaking the law, to clear Max's name. In crossing the yellow line, however, they fall under the close scrutiny of Vogel, of the police internal affairs bureau, a sworn enemy to Caplan.
