Inspector John Barnaby and Sergeant Winter sort out family secrets, long-standing grudges, and village intrigue, behind which someone's elaborate criminal scheme is always hiding.
In Season 25, Barnaby and Winter face a war between two groups of treasure hunters by the river, deadly competition at a bowling club, a tragedy at an engagement party where an explosive-laden cuckoo is used, and conflicts at an elite school where a battle for reputation turns into real casualties.

Season 2 / Action, crime, thriller / Netflix
In Marseille, tough police captain Lyès and his team work in neighborhoods where control of drug trafficking has long been shared by several clans. Formally they catch dealers and shut down supply channels, but in reality they are constantly balancing the law, agreements with informants, and pressure from above.
In the second season, the consequences of the past operation put Lyès's unit under the scrutiny of internal inspections, and the players who dream of taking over the entire port and new supply routes return to the city. The team is forced to act more cautiously than before: any wrong move threatens not only their careers, but also the fate of their loved ones. Investigations lead Lyès to the schemes, which mixed the interests of drug traffickers, local politicians, and people from the highest offices.

His "normal" life is constantly disrupted by demon attacks, inter-world conflicts, and attempts of different organizations to check who he really is.
In the fifth season, the usual balance is shattered when Wang Nuan, a mysterious girl who claims to be his daughter from the future, appears in his life. The new threat affects several worlds at once, and Wang Ling has to act more cautiously than before: rely not only on his own strength, more often rely on friends and think about the consequences. The closer the denouement gets, the clearer the question becomes, at what price the immortal king will be able to preserve both the world and his own "daily life".

Does the Italian version strongly copy the Norwegian one? I've been looking at her for a long time, but somehow I don't dare)
The whole story is the same. But they are completely different. Italian is more emotional, straight, bright or something. Norwegian, due to the temperament of the country, is probably more restrained in this regard, but more atmospheric. It's already snowing there and the northern surroundings are more familiar to us)
I don 't even know which one is better 😅
In the original series, there are links to both adaptations, I asked once to add)
Somehow the Italian version suited me better. But I saw it first.
OK, if I meet you, I'll call you.
I agree, the Norwegian version is very atmospheric. That's why I was afraid that the Italian team would lose a lot, and watching it would be a complete disappointment. But your comment is encouraging)
Your request will simplify the search for many people.
But home for Christmas, this is the best TV series gift for the holidays.
And of course, the Tale of the end of the world, straight Mortal Kombat) ✌️
This should not be missed! 😁😁😁 But this is Monday's news, apparently. Although the second season is partly after "The Man against the Bee".
And, of course, Percy Jackson with animations (except Croft), where without them))
Probably guarding Marseille)
