New French mini-series. AKA In The Shadows.
This is an adaptation of the eponymous political thriller written in 2011 by former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe and his former special advisor Gilles Boyer.
Paul Francœur has just won his party’s primaries and is starting a presidential campaign that promises to be eventful. César Casalonga, his main advisor, must dodge attacks from other candidates and extinguish the resentment of his own political family. When a rumor of fraud in the primaries threatens to weaken his boss’s candidacy, César understands that he will have to fight the most difficult fight of his life.
