I did enjoy this series despite the absurdities which begged the viewer to suspend their disbelief. The chief would not reopen the case because of a picture - the picture which proved beyond any reasonable doubt that Olly had been in the house.
Of course I guessed quite early on that the chief was involved in some way.
The finale left everything unresolved - as Tony said to Baptiste - they only had Alain's word that Olly was killed. Very odd that - the dodgy romanian finding Olly alive did not think to contact the chief and ask what to do. So Olly had seen his face. What crime had the romanian been guilty of to that point? But he killed the boy and went from no crime to murder? Yes the chief said he has a dead boy and get rid of him. But he's not dead. He has no order to kill him. That made no sense at all. A quick phone called would have cleared it up.
The final scene showed how maybe Olly did not die and how he may have been trafficked to Russia.
I thought series 2 was going to show how Tony tracked him to Russia and now I see it is a new story with rave reviews.
Not sure if I am going to watch.
