In The Traveller (Le Voyageur), Eric Cantona plays the detective Thomas Bareski. Disgusted by the way difficult cases are being shelved, Bareski takes a leave of absence to travel around rural France attempting to solve cold cases. Working out of the back of a battered blue van, isolated and living off the land, Bareski is the embodiment of the lone detective.
The Traveller is comprised of eight[1] feature length episodes. In the first four, Bareski arrives in a small town to further the investigation of a cold case that was beyond the capabilities of the local police. The police are obviously none too pleased with their historic failures being pointed out by some hobo cop.
The Traveller harks back to the television drama of the Eighties and Nineties. The period after the step change in production values epitomised by Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley's People but before CSI's reliance on.
