What Season 1 of The Adventures of Tintin

Tintin is a reporter with no known family who is more of an adventurer or a detective. He travels the world with his dog Snowy and has one clear goal: to take on the forces of evil and defend the weak and oppressed. The season opens with a murder at a port. Tintin follows some mysterious cans to the freighter Karaboudjan, where he ends up a prisoner and meets Captain Haddock, who is overwhelmed by drink. Then the conflict widens: opium, counterfeiters and a treasure hidden in three ship models that hold parchments. Alongside the hero are the hot-tempered captain, detectives Thomson and Thompson, the absent-minded Professor Calculus and the singer Bianca Castafiore.
