Spiral...

While on the subject of things French.. I have to say  how much we are enjoying the French crime series, Spiral. Crime and passion in equal measure. Well, actually more crime than passion-with-the- pants, thankfully. Though there was plenty of panting when Laure got it together with Gilou in the unisex bog at work, week before last. See what happens when you play with the notices on lavatory doors? Makes them into a free-for-all.

Anyway, not too much of that malarkey, thankfully. Beautifully-drawn, sympathetic characters and a good narrative. The script sounds ok, even with sub-titles.

It is a treat to be  watching it once a week. Two episodes weekly means that we have a genuine slice of action over two hours. I think we've almost forgotten the thrill of having to wait for the next instalment. Funny how recording and boxed sets have made us forget the bitter sweet pleasure of waiting for gratification. Next week will see the conclusion of the series. After six series, will
Canal+ be making a seventh? Until we know that, we will be bereft. How will Laure and Gilou manage without us?
