Each season of the

is an independent story, this 4th season presents very nuanced characters, with fine psychology.

We get attached to even the most horrible of them.

If violence is often at the rendezvous in

, it is also a series that does not lack humor.

As for the soundtrack, for this season, it is the groove of the 50s that is being honored, a success.
