A very disappointing season. A lot of side stories bringing nothing to the main scenario. The Middle East and Asian stories don’t even end. It’s like they were just here to fill a story that couldn’t span on 10 episodes. And the occult ending just has nothing to do in this kind of show.
I hope The Bureau will recover from this terrible fifth season, but definitively a dire end for Eric Rochant
This season should end in 8 stretches. The last two episodes do not bring anything new to the series, and the entire fifth season is full of started and never completed threads. As far as I liked this Russian storyline, the entire fifth season is disappointing

Jacques Audiard's participation in the last two episodes as a screenwriter and director perhaps gives us a clue as to what the path would be in a possible sixth season without Eric Rochant. And that path unfortunately doesn't have much to do with the rest of the series.
The fifth season has been erratic, with little wasted stories (Marie-Jeanne in Egypt), almost non-existent characters (Marina) and unfinished plots (everything that surrounds the character of Louis Garrel). The series maintains its personality, but it has taken a commercial shortcut that may lead it to a blind alley.
