Without giving anything away - but nothing was as awful as the look on Roban's face at what he saw as Laure's betrayal.....Comment

I've just discovered that Season 4 is available free on Netflix so am going to avail myself of that in the interim. But Seasons 1 - 3 aren't, which is peculiar. Might have to obtain some silver discs if the appetite remains after #4..."...the isle is full of noises,

We got hooked and went back to the DVDs of the earlier series from Lovefilm - now Amazon. If you liked series 5 it is worth checking out all the predecessors.Comment

i found the resolution an astounding completion to a moral tale of violence and harm and the great dilemma posed by standing up to bullies in public and private life .... just brilliant ... poor Laure and Gilou ....According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.Comment

Yes - having been "disappointed-but-sort-of-expecting-it" from Josephine, his perception of this "betrayal" was all the more devastating; and the way the actor's face just communicated this devastation.
I can only repeat: Wow! Blimey![FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

I feel that I've lived with these characters for all five series, the acting is so superb that you almost think that it ceases to be acting! There was an awfully long wait before Series 5, I just hope that BBC 4 survives to show Series 6. I notice that the BBC is involved in the co-production, which gives hope.Comment

What a cracker of an ending to Series 5. I wonder how many UK / US companies would have the guts to end a series on so disastrous and tragic a note?
I suppose the one thing it does give them is that Laure will no longer have that baby - which of course was the thread through Series 5. Will the next one be the relationship between her and Gilou?
And Josephine......crikey! Death of lover turned her even more cynical and exploitative. What a richly nasty world they live in, But as said upthread, this reflects directly on the whole suspect elite ruling France at the mo. Roban betrayed, but at least Marianne is back........!! Watch THIS space!Comment

Fun to see the Brits wrestling with this! The article doesn't grapple with the more extreme instances, used by the ghetto racaille like Karen's gang or Zach and his brother, beyond mentioning the regular verlan words like meuf for woman or keufs for cops... Such instances broadly involve various violent sexual acts committed on the other person's female relatives or their entire race. French 'youth' from very different backgrounds have imported this mode of speech into their language on a sort of parody basis, so paint-peeling phrases like nique ta race, fils de pute (said with an urban, 'ghetto' accent) are familiar, and it was entertaining to hear them in Spiral....Originally posted by aka Calum Da Jazbo View Post"...the isle is full of noises,

Really enjoying Season 4 on Netflix !! Slightly odd to see them all looking a little younger; and it's good to have Pierre Clément back..."...the isle is full of noises,

Very good news that Season 6 of Spiral is coming to BBC4 on Saturday 30 December.
En attendant, I'm enjoying the current French police series - the second season of Witnesses (last two episodes on BBC4 tonight, first six all on iPlayer, but the first two only for another 9 days). The first season was good too - like the current one, a slightly incredible initial premise, but they manage to justify it by the subsequent plotting. I like the northern French locations - the coastal areas of the Pas de Calais, and in episode 3 (the last one I've watched) it was good to see the Mont St Michel featuring scenically..."...the isle is full of noises,

Good to hear of the return of Spiral, thanks.Originally posted by Caliban View Post
Have almost lost patience with the absurdity of Witnesses and will be glad when it's over tonite (nice location shots, granted). If this, for you, has a 'slightly' incredible initial premise... what wd a really incredible one be like!

Good to hear about Spiral ... but Witnesses? The first season a couple of years ago I thought was riveting, and I greatly enjoyed episodes 1 -3 of this second series. But then in Episode 4, the central character suddenly acted completely unprofessionally and totally out of character, and the whole story has gone bonkers! It's as if after Ep 3, the series was handed over to a completely different script writer - one doing a Media Studies GCSE project on "Women in Crime Series". It's become nearly as bad as ITV's Bancroft - but with admittedly much better actors (and, I hope, without the cheap "psychodyke" clichés).[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment
