Watch Paris Police 1900 first! But be warned: about everything. Strong language; strong sex scenes; strong violence; strong bigotry; strong gore; strong drug use; strong… well, you get the picture. This "season" takes a turn towards some undercurrents in Paris society that today we'd shrug at: homosexuality, and sexually transmitted infections that, now treatable, were awful and eventually fatal in 1905. The strong characters from PP 1900 have evolved somewhat since then, with some surprising results. I am delighted to see that Paris Police 1910 is "planned" 🎉

The representation of the darker side of the Parisian Belle Époque continues following "Paris Police 1900" (2021), but succeeds in a greater concentration on the main characters without dispersing in complex political questions. Even more sordid, it delves into the persecution of homosexuality and the syphilis epidemic that was an almost certain death sentence. There is a sleaze in the reflection of this early 20th century society that attempts to counteract with some moments of humor that are somewhat shocking, and on some occasions take the risk of driving the characters towards caricature.
