Anyone else watching this new French drama on Channel 4? unusual intro to say the least, but very gripping. Having come late to Spiral, we are now working our way through seasons 1 to 4 in that series, love it, don't mind reading the sub titles anymore. Am beginning to find, certainly the Danish/Swedish and now the French crime dramas better than homegrown stuff, with a few exceptions such as 1st Broadchurch.

I really wanted to watch but OH won't watch sub-titles and I do find it distracting and a bit of a strain to watch and read.

Just watched the first episode on catchup. Really enjoyed it [although I found some things annoying..one example being the lipstick she found in her boyfriends car which wouldn't have been brand new and unused]. I like subtitles these days because my hearing isn't too good. Mind you, yet another case of a foreign series with amazing scarf tying...they must employ specialists to do that and it must be really difficult when it comes to continuity confused.

I've always given subtitles a wide berth because I can't keep up with them, but just lately I've found that I seem to be able to read them more easily for some reason. As a result I've been overdosing on the foreign dramas, as there seems to be so little homemade stuff lately.

So far I've seen:

Witnesses, Cordon, The Saboteurs, & Odyssey.

I record them so that I can rewind if I miss any of the subtitles.
