EPISODES 1.01-1.06 The “time machine” in this stylish French time travel crime thriller (first aired on France 2) is a near-future forensic VR system used to recreate crime scenes, which develops a “glitch”. Yep, a French cop discovers time travel and what does he do? Call the press? Tell his boss? Place a bet on France winning the 1998 World Cup final 3-0? Nope. He just shrugs and calls it a glitch. Très French.
