Master Crimes: plot, cast, how many episodes, locations, actors, streaming of the TV series on Rai 1

Master Crimes is the series broadcast in first vision and in prime time on Rai 1 from August 13, 2024. A truly original Franco-Belgian production, for a detective story that will keep you glued to the TV. Let’s see together all the information such as the plot and the cast.

Plot

The series centers on Louise Arbus, a university professor of criminology who stopped collaborating with the police after helping to convict Pierre Delaunay, a man she now believes to be innocent. Commissioner Oscar Rugasira convinces her to return to the field to investigate a mysterious murder: the victim has a phrase from one of the professor’s books engraved on his back: “J’attends le tueur parfait” (I’m waiting for the perfect murderer).

Louise accepts what seems to be a challenge and decides to be supported by four students with complementary skills: Samuel, Mia, Boris and Valentine. Each will enrich the investigation with their own point of view, unique and different from that of their colleagues. However, the collaboration with Captain Barbara Delandre immediately proves problematic, further complicated by the discovery that Mia is Pierre Delaunay’s daughter and has hacked the university’s servers to enroll in Louise’s courses.
