One of the very best detective series available. The plots are literate and suspenseful, and the acting is superb. For aficionados of great real world detective stories this one ranks at the very top of the list. If you liked Wallander, Dicte, Kill, Broadchurch, or The Night Manager you will enjoy this enormously.

On a short list of Crime dramas, at the top of the list along with Wallander, Beck, Maigret, and Morse. Highly recommended for the person interested in story, culture, mystery, and good production values.

We've watched every season of Spiral and have not been disappointed with any. Excellent character development and good insights into the French justice system.

really good series

I just finished watching season 3. I found that I got really frustrated with some of the characters and some of the ways the police worked but I think that made it even better to watch.

All of the Spiral Series has been great and I would highly recommend. I also have viewed The Bridge (Danish/Swedish with sub-titles and loved those too.) Spiral is both realistic and gritty plus you can't always figure out where it's going which is always better watching.

Great series and worth every penny. But watch it free on Netflix and don't make the mistake I did and pay Amazon for what you can get free on your Netflix subscription.
