Épisode 1
Four weeks after giving premature birth to Romy, still in an incubator at the hospital, Laure Berthaud is eager to resume service. The 2nd DPJ is called in the twentieth arrondissement where a human torso was discovered. Arnaud Beckriche, the new Commissioner, overseeing the investigation, leaves a week to his team to solve the case before transferring it to the criminal brigade. For her part, Josephine languishes in a firm specializing in business law when Eric Edelman comes to offer to defend the son of a famous cosmetic surgeon, accused of having ordered the murder of his father.
If you're looking for your next binge-worthy TV series, look no further than "Plaine orientale." This riveting French drama delves into the life of Reda, played by the talented Raphael Acloque, who is released from prison only to find himself caught in a web of societal tensions and underworld conflicts. With its unique setting in Corsica and a plot that expertly weaves personal struggles with broader societal issues, this show is not just entertainment—it's a compelling exploration of identity and belonging.
The story kicks off when Reda finishes his time at Borgo prison. His dreams of reconnecting with his old Corsican friends are dashed as he quickly realizes that he is too Arab for them. This powerful theme of exclusion resonates throughout the series as Reda navigates his fractured relationships within both the Corsican community and his own family. The introduction of his half-sister Inès, portrayed by Lina El Arabi, adds another layer to the narrative. As a newly appointed judge in Bastia's anti-mafia division, she offers him a risky opportunity that could change both their lives forever.
As Season 1 progresses through its five thrilling episodes, viewers witness Reda's struggles as he tries to reclaim his place in society while also protecting those he loves. Episode 2 sees him entangled with Nacéra at a local drug dealing post where they discover they are being duped by Taracci, an associate of Guerrieri’s gang. This revelation sets up an intense cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and organized crime that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
