## Synopsis

Transporter: The Series (2013-2014) is a Canadian action crime series created by Robert Mark Kamen and Luc Besson for The Movie Network and HBO. Chris Vance plays Frank Martin, a professional transporter who asks no names, changes no deal and never opens the package, and whose discipline is tested by the clients and criminals around him. Violante Placido plays Caterina Boldieu, while François Berléand appears as Tarconi, a figure whose dealings drag Frank deeper into danger. The series runs two seasons and twenty-four episodes, mostly built as self-contained jobs in which a delivery goes wrong and a stoic ex-military driver must improvise his way out. Its engine is the tension between Frank's rigid code and the messy desperation of the underworld he moves through. Each episode turns on a new cargo, a new buyer and a new threat, giving the show a brisk, episodic rhythm punctuated by car chases and close-quarters fights. Set in a seedy European criminal milieu, it keeps a cool, hard-edged tone, with a lean action style and a streak of moral steel. Fans of Transporter, Burn Notice and Leverage will find resonance in its blend of vehicle-driven action, professional competence and a lone operator bending rules to survive.
