Story
Marion Mazzano was once a police officer but after surviving a shooting, she becomes a prison administrator. Her husband, who is still a cop, creates tension in their marriage and work situations. In one of her first cases, Marion offers herself as a hostage to secure the release of another prisoner's victim. She learns from the hostage-taker that a guard at another prison killed his cell-mate, marking him for death as well. This revelation serves as the second primary plot thread throughout the series.
Summary
Marion Mazzano is a French TV drama that follows the titular character who transitions from being a police officer to a prison administrator after surviving a shooting. The series explores realistic situations akin to HBO's 'Oz' but with great writing and acting, and features graphic violence that might be considered usual by European viewers but potentially shocking for US audiences.
