French TV series recommendations after Spiral and Le Bureau des Légendes

[Pleasedontdothat]

I’m learning French and really enjoy watching French TV (with the subtitles as a safety net 😉). I’ve watched Spiral/Engrenages and just finished Le Bureau des Légendes - any recommendations of engrossing series?

Women at War on Netflix is entertaining - totally daft but good escapism

Ignore my last post, I found it! Thank you so much, and its brilliant to know that I can watch in one language and have subtitles in English, I didn't know that and I hate dubbed series.

Symphonie is good, about orchestra players and their lives.

L’intruse about an au pair is good.

The intruder has put me off ever getting an au pair!

I know!! I too can understand Received Pronunciation French very well, but the second a criminal or teenager starts to babble I’m completely lost.

Just thought of a series I really enjoyed - Baron Noir. It’s about politics, but don’t let that put you off - it’s all about scheming and back-stabbing.

Public Enemy (Ennemi Public) - TW - Involves a child killer and has very Silence of the Lambs vibes.
The Mantis (La Mante) - Very gory. A female serial killer agrees to help catch a copycat but only if the detective on the case is her now adult son.

Panda is also an easy watching crime-comedy series. I think the French accent in it is the easiest to understand of the ones I've watched.

I've just started watching High Potential which is a remake of the French HIP, both are on Disney+.

I’ve just started watching Le Comte de Monte Cristo on iPlayer - lots of beautifully modulated pronunciation so nice and easy to follow (and sumptuous sets and costumes as a bonus)!
