I was glued to the screen - really enjoyed it.
Rowlers - Sami was trying to be the hero and get the girl I think - they all (Herville, Sami, Laure) were victims of their own ambition and stubborn-ness imho; the counter-terrorism unit was just the same. It's all about who climbs the greasy pole.
The one plot hole I can see - wouldn't that amount of explosive have done a LOT more damage? Unless they only used some of it and Riffault has buggered off with the rest

smugmum that lack of strikeout was your subconscious not letting you strikeout the truth

Cremola did you not think Josephine deserved her happy ending this series? Given we know more about her awful background, and then she finished the series by doing something for the good of others rather than just naked self interest - we were being asked to sympathise with her.
And, in contrast, we were helped to realise that Pierre is a bloody idiot and perfectly willing to act in his own greed/self-interest sometimes.
So we are more likely to accept (if not support ) their relationship being back on track at the end.

I have a romantic notion for Pierre
But yes he showed a darker side this series.
They are all as twisty as fusilli.

Cremola it's a movie next week, I think.
Agree though - can't wait for more of The Bridge!
I was lucky enough to receive several boxsets for b'day/xmas

Well, I dunno, know what you mean about being the hero but faced with a bag packed with explosives, he'd have fucked off really. Just convenient for storyline, give a big emotional thing at the end.
And that Sophie girl should have set the thing off much sooner - she only waited to give the rest of the main characters time to get out so there can be another series.
Yes that amount of explosives would surely have blown the building apart, not just one room.
How did they let that crappy hippy-type / amateur terrorist Riffaut get away so often?
He was presented as a determined-to-cause-misery terrorist-with-no-morals and then what was he doing at the end? Going off to his alternative life as a bank clerk?!?!
Soz - was sort of hoping it would be a bit, erm, cleverererer -am I being too picky?

Oh shame a film . Come on BBC 4 we need more eurocrime .
Even the not very good wallanders would do for a bit.
Surely there must be plenty of dark German / French stuff out there. Canal+ are prolific at churning it out!
I wish they had made more Aurelio Zen too.
Montalbano dd loves it. Poor old salvo. I have romantic notions about mimi sometimes too.

PUTAIN! Sami! Noooooo! 
He is not d'accord!
I see your point rowlers , there were plenty of missed opportunities and I think Sami was trying to be a bit of a hero but I was still riveted ce soir.
It was lovely to see Josephine smile for once, teej . Prior to this series, I really disliked her but we've seen a different side to her now and I'm happy to let her have a little loan of Pierre, provided she returns him unsoiled. And what a convenient escape from Jorkal for Pierre; I was hoping he would need maitre Karlsson's help.
Poor Tintin; his wife's crowning and he's almost being blown to bits; that won't help his PTSD much. Lovely to see him and Gilou close and looking out for each other, though; sweet.
Yeah, I reckon Amina was coming onto Gilou but he brushed her off but he liked her earlier in the series 
Poor Laure, don't think Vincent will be too keen to nurse her through her heartbreak over Sami, though.
Good to see Roban back in office (with the lovely Marianne; hope he makes up for rejecting her puppy dog eyes at the end) but he's going to have Mason issues next series. He does love being troubled, doesn't he. He's probably very wealthy, if I were him, I'd take early retirement and get some sun on that pasty skin.
Think I read that series 5 is ready to shoot so hopefully there won't be as long a gap between 4 & 5 as 3&4. Lots on story lines to continue; Riffaut, Sarouhises, Bremont&Laure, Herville's promotion. I can't wait; love it. Tried watching a few series on BBC/ITV (Shetland, Broadchurch, Mayday) recently and they just seem so bloody slow and boring. Spiral's spoilt me! Merde.
