## Synopsis

Profiling Paris (2009-2020) is a French crime procedural series created by Fanny Robert and Sophie Lebarbier for TF1. Its heart is profiler Chloé Saint-Laurent (Odile Vuillemin), a sweet, brightly dressed psychologist who carries a huge yellow bag and looks almost like a doll, yet reads suspects with sharp precision. Working alongside a Paris police team that includes Grégoire Lamarck (Jean-Michel Martial), Hippolyte de Courtène (Raphaël Ferret) and Thomas Rocher (Philippe Bas), she is drawn into one murder investigation after another, each built around interviews, psychological readings and the slow reconstruction of a killer's mind. The engine of the show is the gradual thaw of a team that begins reserved toward the newcomer and becomes her closest friends. Spanning ten seasons and 102 episodes, it works as a case-of-the-week procedural with recurring characters and an evolving team dynamic rather than a single continuing mystery. Set in contemporary Paris, it has a warm, humane tone that balances grim crimes with affection and gentle humor. Viewers who enjoy The Mentalist, Mindhunter and Wallander will find resonance in its blend of psychological insight and European police drama. A French TF1 production, it suits audiences who want a character-driven crime series.
