| Spiral (Engrenages)
Just a heads-up for anyone who loved The Wire but thought it could do with more croissants, that series two of gritty French cop series Spiral begins a repeat run on BBC4 tonight (in, er, twenty minutes). It's great, and the cast includes an examining magistrate who looks almost exactly like a hunting heron, and implausibly stunning frecklefest Audrey Fleurot playing devious, corrupt (but with a heart of flint) lawyer Josephine Karlsson. Much better than all that depressing Scandinavian nonsense. |
