Taro's daughter Julia has returned from abroad and is starting a traineeship with the newspaper “ La Provence ”. Her research leads her to the problem areas of the city, where she meets the petty criminal Selim. The two start a stormy affair and provoke Julia's former boyfriend Eric.

When Taro's designated successor Lucas Barrès voted against a planned luxury development of the port area, the mayor saw his political legacy in danger. Torn between the wellbeing of his family and his own ambitions, Taro is forced to run again.

He competes against his former protégé, who is waging a relentless election campaign full of hatred and intrigue. Ultimately, it turns out that Lucas is Barrès Taro's illegitimate son.

Reviews

Carolin Ströbele criticizes a "script that provides few surprises", sees stereotypes instead of realism in Maghreb drug dealers and, on the other hand, misses the "unfinished, wild, chaotic city" in the smoothly polished "image images of the port, cathedral and old town alleys" () "The usual graffiti-sprayed high-rise corridors, the scratched elevator doors" of the Felix Pyat large housing estate are not enough for her).

Moze Halperin describes the dialogues in particular as silly ("silly") and points out that the dramatic montage of images in the opening credits gives the wrong impression that the series deals with Marseille's socio-geographic problem areas ("the title sequence gives the very false impression of a show that will be about the geopolitics of Marseille, and the cultural intersections therein "()).

James Poniewozik sums up his judgment by calling Marseille a telenovela and soap opera ("The story is straight political soap."). He sees the series as a missed opportunity to use the realities of this city as a starting point for a political narrative about contemporary Europe with its tensions between immigration, cultural conflicts and the rise of right-wing extremist movements (“for a political story of modern Europe, with its tensions involving immigration, culture clashes and the rise of the right wing ”()).
