The undercover agent : Is Arte’s detective series worth a look? Our opinion.
If the first minutes of The undercover agent seem particularly long and laborious, interest in this detective fiction continues to grow as the episodes follow one another. Thus from the second episode, the initial blandness of the program gives way to a captivating series, in particular thanks to the development of its characters and the fleshing out of its plot. Ivar Wafaei is one of the main assets of this oppressive detective series. The actor, still unknown to the general public, stands out for his more than successful performance in the skin of the young Raziq Shaheen whose life changes violently overnight. And this despite somewhat failed dubbing! Therefore, choose the original version with subtitles.
