The Jury explained its choice in a few sentences: " We would also like to give a special mention to the creators of the series Unité 42 who have managed to create a classic series, as deep from a psychological point of view as it gives you palpitations from a scenario point of view. The combination of the actor and the production further sublimes real quality storytelling."
