Thank's Z,I was just going to post just this.I'm looking forward to this as much as I did The Wire.

Great stuff - thanks for the heads up.

I'm not quite finished series 3 so giving this a miss for now. Just checked lovefilm though for their release date and they have it down for 25th March so I imagine BBC4 will have double bills every Saturday then the same way they did with the last series of The Killing

Alan_X · « **Reply #4 on:** February 10, 2013, 11:33:37 am »

Really enjoyed the first two episodes - if you liked the first three series all the elements are there.

abs-ibs · « **Reply #5 on:** February 26, 2013, 02:12:58 am »

Love this series. Judge Roban is awesome.

But the series is brilliant from top to bottom, and Audrey Fleurot who plays Josephine Karlsson is gorgeous. But it amazes me on how many absolutely terrible decisions she makes every series lol.

Building up to be another cracking series - really is up there with The Wire in my opinion

She's a damaged character (as they all are to be fair) whose motivation is the abuse she got from her father and the police's complicity in allowing it to happen. She's not driven by a desire for fairness or justice, but a hatred of the justice system and the police.

I know what you're saying. Like the Wire, most of the characters are a bit flawed (some a lot flawed) and the good guys seem to bend the rules just as much as the bad guys to suit their own ends. A definite blurring at the edges of what's right and what's wrong. It's superb entertainment.

and of course there's Laure Berthaud. Hard as nails but vulnerable at the same time. What a character.

Echo the praise, it really is a top series. Karlsson never fails to annoy me for some reason though I recognise she is a great character. Braquo and Spiral show the French can do it, Borgen, etc from Scandanavia and us??

Two solid episodes tonight

Ziltoid · « **Reply #26 on:** January 15, 2015, 11:58:13 am »

Enjoyed the first two. I do like it when Roban starts sticking his oar in!

Alan_X · « **Reply #27 on:** January 15, 2015, 07:47:14 pm »

New Series - great stuff!

stara · « **Reply #28 on:** January 27, 2015, 08:19:35 pm »

One of my all time favorite police series. Up there with the Wire.

Stubbins · « **Reply #29 on:** January 29, 2015, 08:41:37 am »

Caught up with the last two episodes last night.

Mon dieu!

It's left Mrs Stubbins distraught.

Haha, I bet now that

Spoiler

hunky Pierre has popped his clogs (hang on, it's not a Dutch show, what shoes do French people wear in their stereotype?

).

I want to know why Roban has been so off the boil this season, he's making awful calls all the time, it's basically his fault Pierre got got - is it the nosebleeds, does anyone else think he's got some kind of brain tumour?

Also - Laure's baby - will it survive or will she keep getting herself punched in the gut? She seems to be warming to it a bit...

Sabots...

Sabots...

thanks for clearing that one up.

"Sabots were in the 16th to 19th centuries, associated with the lower classes. During this period, the years of the Industrial Revolution, the word sabotage gained currency. Allegedly derived from sabot, sabotage described the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works. However, according to some accounts, sabot-clad workers were simply considered less productive than others who had switched to leather shoes, roughly equating the term "sabotage" with "inefficiency"

That's a brilliant little thing to have learned today. RAWK never disappoints...

Cracking series so far. I missed the first four series, so this is all new to me.

The acting is superb. And Karlsson is, well...

Never lets up does it? And my French is coming on a treat. Merde is becoming my swear word of choice.

Been a long time coming but welcome back Laure Berthaud and the gang.

Ziltoid · « **Reply #38 on:** December 19, 2017, 12:09:45 am »

Cheers, just watching the Witness series on BBC 4 with the delightful Audrey from Spiral. Pretty good so far.

abs-ibs · « **Reply #39 on:** December 21, 2017, 04:23:00 am »

Yeah I watched Witnesses too. Also a good european crime drama. Looking forward to Spiral in a couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see where it goes this season.
