Thicker Than Water (Jusqu’ici tout va bien) is a series directed by Nawell Madani and Simon Jablonka and starring Nawell Madani and Kahina Carina.
A lot of social conflict in this French series that deals (quite a lot) with social conflict and, as a thriller, lets itself get away.
It follows in the wake of French cinema, it is not great technically, but it has many virtues in the development of the characters, which are treated with much respect in a script that respects itself and knows how to get where it wants to go.
Of course, it may be that the place where the script wants to go is not the same place that viewers who want to see a more “pure” thriller would like to see it end up.

Belgian humorist Nawell Madani leads this dramatic crime series, alongside Djebril Zonga and Paola Locatelli.
