French tv show recommendations

DD is in Y13 and doing French A level. Does anyone have any recommendations for tv shows in French?

We like to have something to watch together anyway and she has chosen Criminal: France next as a bit of subliminal French revision. It's only 3 eps though, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has any more ideas. The plan is to watch in French with subtitles also in French.

We have sky, Netflix, Prime and Disney+. I have suggested Call My Agent before and she said no, but that seems an obvious one to me.

Have previously enjoyed Downton, Happy Valley, House of the Dragon, Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Love Island Blush
Documentaries also good - just finishing off I Am A Stalker at the mo.

Call my agent is great and Lupin was fun.

Braquo but we only watched the first couple of seasons as it got a bit OTT.

Engrenages
Le Bureau
Both long and meaty talky procedural/ action series. Excellent for learning French!

The Serpent was partially in French with subtitles, as I recall.

Lupin.... worth it for the actor!

Saw a lovely film last year, Les Petites Victoires, also Simone. Might be available on Amazon.

There's a Belgian serial killer crime drama on Netflix called Public Enemy that is quite good.

Agree re Lupin and there was a great programme called Witnesses a few years back.

Belgian French has a different accent. Be careful if it’s more colloquial . DD just watched French films!
