I've never written a review have no idea how to except I have to say something here... I've watched so many series over the years.... Spiral... is my favorite ever... it's the whole package done in excellence...Crime... Detectives... the Judicail system ... the character development.... these relationships ... are very real to life in that they are not glamorized... they're raw... the acting of the main cast... I feel like I know them in a way if they don't have season 7 I'll go into such a disappointment I'll never get over it!! Really give Spiral a chance to unfold before you, you'll be hooked soon!!

I hope there is a review of making series 7 the last. Characters and storylines completely engaging and the world stops for this. Some spin offs spring to mind, Joséphine Karlsson s life is never dull for instance. Series 7 mustn't be the last. A campaign needs to be started.

There is much to commend this french police drama series set in suburban Paris - interesting characters, intense drama, mostly realistic feeling. However, my strikes against the series are: excessive focus on gruesome corpses - just too much; complete absence of any operational co-operation with the uniformed gendarmerie - surely unrealistic; very casual and disrespectful relations between the detectives of different ranks - improbable; security in the police station is so careless that lawyers wander freely unescorted gathering intelligence useful to their clients, and it is a wonder that half the suspects don't simply escape by running out; nearly all politicians are shown as corrupt - typical french intellectual prejudice. I don't believe this is a spoiler, but my final criticism against this series concerns when an undercover agent is planted in a gang at great personal risk but continues to frequent the police station base at high risk of being seen by dubious gang lawyers, gang suspects or other criminals brought in, any one of whom could blow his cover, causing his death. This was so ridiculous I found it hard to continue watching. In reality, once an agent goes undercover, all interactions with the originating force are managed with the greatest possible secrecy and precautions. Nevertheless, if you can stomach the excessive gore & violence, there is plenty of substance to sustain interest.

This is absolutely one great French crime drama TV series. The writing and acting (entire cast) is over the top. And that is why it's so frustrating and annoying to be hung out to dry after the third series.. with one left to go (and just when it looks as if Audrey Fleurot .. bit.ly/12EX5u8 .. and Fitoussi will finally become romantically involved). A web search shows there's no other location where you can get the fourth series (12 episodes). This happens time and again with many series on netflix... but when they are as exceptional as this one is, it gets you really annoyed. (Wikipedia indicates a fifth and sixth series have been ordered.) PS.. now 4 is on netflix.
