Liaison, a French-British espionage thriller miniseries, was made for Apple TV+. It was created and written by Virginie Brac and directed by Stephen Hopkins. Six episodes of about 52 minutes each aired from February 24 to March 31, 2023, telling a single self-contained story. It is described as the first Apple original produced in French.

The story explores how mistakes made in the past can wreck the future. Espionage and political intrigue play out inside an unpredictable, layered plot, against a passionate and lasting love story. Vincent Cassel and Eva Green lead the cast, joined by Peter Mullan, Gérard Lanvin, Stanislas Merhar, Thierry Frémont, Daniel Francis and Eriq Ebouaney; Irène Jacob plays the director of the French foreign intelligence service, the DGSE. The dialogue switches between English and French.

Filming began in London in June 2021.

Series Binger A series devotee tracking character arcs, cast chemistry and season pacing.

Being a single, self-contained season is Liaison's biggest advantage: no seasons dragging on, and every episode is heading somewhere. Pairing Vincent Cassel with Eva Green looks very appealing at first glance, and the show tries to set its love story inside the spy plot. That balance does not always hold, though; when the political intrigue speeds up the romance tends to drag, and sometimes the reverse. A good pick for anyone after a tidy thriller you can finish in a weekend.

Action & Thriller Fan Puts pace, tension and set pieces first; little patience for slow drama.

Espionage, intelligence services, political intrigue: it looks like exactly my kind of thing. But Liaison is a thriller driven more by conversations than explosions, built on past mistakes and secrets and a plot that opens layer by layer. Being short is a big plus. Don't wait for explosions; the tension climbs as the secrets of the past come out.

Cinephile Looks at script, editing and directing choices; keeps a distance from formula films.

Described as Apple's first French-language original, Liaison is an interesting case of co-production, with dialogue that switches between English and French. The language shifts naturally mirror the distance between two countries' intelligence worlds. Virginie Brac's script centers on the idea that past mistakes can bring down the present, a thematically coherent frame. The weakness lies in the genre mix: with spy thriller, political drama and a passionate love story side by side in a short miniseries, the layered plot at times mistakes complication for depth. The strong cast fills some of those gaps but cannot close them entirely.
