Sébastien Delorme, who knows the mechanics of daily life well after playing five seasons in District 31, describes his character as a “charismatic” guy.

Pixcom executive producer Charles Lafortune strongly believes in this daily.
“It’s a project that has been worked on for several years. Me Richard Dubé is one of the greatest criminal lawyers in Quebec. He is often in the media, he is asked for his opinion as with the Camara affair. He was interviewed in the series Custom murderers that we did for Club illico. He and Izabel wanted to do a legal series on the defense side. Generally, the legal series is the Crown, we want to defend the widow and the orphan, I found it extremely interesting that they come up with this project. You rarely see that on TV, ”he said.
In Indefensible, the viewer will find himself in the role of the jury, which must decide between true and false.
“You have to go beyond appearances, too, often, to seek out the real story behind it. You have the point of view of the accused, the victim, the witnesses, the jurors, and there you yourself will have to make your point of view with the evidence, ”said Sébastien Delorme.
