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

The first season of ''Braquo'' established a record audience for an original production of the channel and 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](/source/Jean-Hugues_Anglade) in 2011. The ending of the third season, with two [plot](/source/plot_(narrative)) strands left unfinished, suggested a possible return. The series was available in the US from [Hulu](/source/Hulu) as of September 2013.

The fourth and final season of ''Braquo'' was shot from February to June 2015 in [Marseille](/source/Marseille) and [Paris](/source/Paris). It is directed by Xavier Palud and [Frédéric Jardin](/source/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Jardin) and written by Abdel Raouf Dafri. It screened in France in September 2016, closely followed by a Spanish broadcast and began airing in the UK in November on [FOX UK](/source/Fox_(British_and_Irish_TV_channel)).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.canalplus.fr/series/braquo/pid7974-saison-4.html|title = Braquo - Saison 1}}</ref>

The name of the series comes from the French word ''braquage'', meaning [armed robberies](/source/armed_robberies), particularly of banks.

==Plot==
The [protagonists](/source/protagonists) are four police agents in the [Hauts-de-Seine](/source/Hauts-de-Seine) area of [Paris](/source/Paris): Eddy Caplan, Walter Morlighem, Théo Vachewski and Roxanne Delgado. Their colleague Max Rossi is accused of criminal misconduct, and commits [suicide](/source/suicide). His guilt is then presumed, disrupting the lives of the other four.

The four police agents then decide to "cross the yellow line" and do whatever is necessary, even breaking the law, to clear Rossi's name. In crossing the yellow line, however, they fall under the close scrutiny of Vogel, of the police [internal affairs](/source/internal_affairs_(law_enforcement)) bureau, a sworn enemy of Caplan.
