Watching a multi season programme is a serious investment in your time so I tend to go on recommendations. My short list is either Borgen or Spiral (both subtitles which I don't mind). Anyone recommend me watching either one or the other or both or not at all?

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
Car crash stuff with lots of "no way..." moments.
Genuinely quite intense to watch so make sure you know what you're getting in to. Not for the feint hearted.
I felt like I was ready for it to finish about 2 episodes from the end but certainly a memorable and provocative story, and rare for the lead actor to be the writer AND person on whom the true story is based.
Complex stuff on many levels if you choose to think about it too much. Would recommend but I'd agree that you need to be prepared for some hard hitting and disturbing stuff - not for everyone.

But…excellent acting (from everyone in the cast) and interesting to see some genuine nuance laid out on TV without a nice tidy (unrealistic) TV ending.
They aimed really high in the first few seasons relating to the French judiciary system in the same manner The Wire did for Baltimore with some great heroes and villains. (Karlsson, Roban, Gilou, Berthaud)
For some reason they dropped the French lawyer bloke and gradually went full on Police Squad - no less gripping - the show puts to shame most anything British TV has done in the last 20 years.
Paris always looks stunning - it's just this is not the Paris the tourists visit.
When did French TV become so good (Engrenages, Call My Agent, Lupin)?
From the trailer it doesn't look that promising, to be honest, but I liked the books so I'll give it a go.
First episode I thought this is going to be really good, plus lots of positive comments here, but kinda felt like it didn't quite deliver in the end.
Don't get me wrong, I did quite enjoy it. Was an interesting enough story, cool dive into an unusual modern life. Lost my attention a bit after the first couple of episodes though.
Not sure exactly why tbh.
Don't know about it being true. I could believe it happened, but it was obviously dramatised a fair bit for effect. A bit style over substance. The comedy club scenes were a bit cringe.
Thing is, if it hadn't have been true I don't think it would have got the same interest, if you get me. Like the fact it was true didn't hold me.
another game made into TV show. It was surprisingly better than I was expecting, thoroughly enjoyed it proper lol moments and they have set it up for another season which I hope happens.

Seen all of Spiral and Borgen. Loved both but Spiral is the better series IMHO
I watched all of Baby reindeer, mainly cos the wife wanted to. But didn't think a lot of it. I feel sorry that he suffered what he did but at some point we are all responsible for ourselves .. and his want of a push up the artistic ladder while enjoying the powerful drugs and attention of an older gay groomer was only ever going to turn out bad. It was all a bit "woe is me "
A bit like horrible histories but more adult, and Scandinavian.
