Unlike all the Scandi crime stuff i'm finding grim people and grim living a lot more convincing in Paris.
One thing I always liked about it was that it's pretty nice to see a mainstream French TV show that's made it to the UK reflecting modern France not some sort of idealised France.
Also a +1 for the Romesh show... really seems to have hit his stride with that one. He can be a bit marmite but he seems to have found a good angle with this sort of Palin-esque self-deprecating semi-innocent abroad schtick.

Have you seen The Bureau? Season 1 & 2 are one of the best written series I've ever seen.
Spiral's writing improves in the later seasons I think, we are at season 8 now.

Getting into the laughably shit visual effects in Spiral now. Almost sad to know they won't be there in the second series but i'm glad i stuck with it. Unlike all the Scandi crime stuff i'm finding grim people and grim living a lot more convincing in Paris.
On a different note i thought Romesh in Sierra Leone on the iplayer was decent. Not always been a fan of his but i thought it was a good mix of sobering and uplifitng.
