Can anyone recommend any French language programmes on things like Netflix, Prime, YouTube etc? I find they do help to attune my ear to understanding spoken French but I need something reasonably interesting to keep me motivated.

Marseille ( think it’s on Netflix) has Gerard depardieu in

I’ve just started watching this. It also has Benoît Magimel, which means I spend entire scenes going ‘Vicious-looking, or actually killer attractive?’

Black box was on BBC 4 very recently, so it should be on I Player. Terrific ( two hours, one off ).

I'll have a look at that one. Thanks for the recommendation although I did read your post first as Black Books Grin

Paris Police 1905 was very enjoyable

Astrid is pretty good too

I know you’ve asked for series but Papa Est En Haut, Gad Elmaleh’s stand up is on YouTube and I found it easy to follow (and funny) when I was studying French.

Pandora , it’s on More4 ( I think it’s in French , not a linguist , but it’s very good )

Bonfire of destiny and women at war on Netflix - Audrey fleurot-athon but quite fun. Bonfire of destiny is like a Victorian sensation novel with disfigured people swapping identity and wotnot.

Astrid is watchable enough. I loved dix percent. Engrenages (spiral) goes on forever.

I also like following Ina on insta, French rv archives so clips of Parisian housewives in 50s etc

Another vote for Spiral. Loved it.

Watched Bôite Noire (Black Box) yesterday. Long, but absolutely gripping.

Dix pour cent is fabulous! la Forêt is good too (filmed in my road in Belgium and my barking dog features🤣)

Another one for Astrid. Series 3 has just started but tempted to rewatch series 1 and 2.
