Anyone else watching this cracking show on FX? It's like a French version of The Shield, with a smattering of The Sweeney thrown in for good measure. It follows a group of rogue cops who use the criminals' own methods against them, corrupting themselves further and further as they try to cover their tracks and get themselves out of the shit they find themselves in. Great show!

- Thread starter Badunk
- Start date
Season 2 started last night. Can't believe nobody else watches this cracking show.
I watched it Badunk, the best and darkest french TV shows ever.It might be a bit unrealistic (the cars the cops get to drive and all) but it's a fantastic show.I usually don't watch french cop movies as they're generally shit but this one has been made by a genius Olivier Marchal
Awesome. Where are you up to? Have they shown the entire second series in France?
Yes I watched when Canal + were broadcasting it live on a weekly basis.I'm gonna advise you to watch a movie called "Les Lyonnais", made by the same guy Marchal with many actors from the "Braquo" series.Same atmosphere, same language and same style.
If you liked Braquo, there are big chances you might like "Les lyonnais" which is a movie based on real life bank robbers in France

Okay, thanks for the recommendation 
I do now, thanks to this thread! Good shout by the way.
I managed to find a hard-coded subs version and am enjoying it so far, I'm about halfway through the first season.
Amazing the cars they drive for cops don't you think ? The black Range Rover HSE is the car of my fantasy

Not something I noticed.. Walter's BMW is kinda beat up & not very new though. They did get lent that monster 500bhp Porsche 4x4 by that scruffy bloke that does the car repairs for them though...? That was a bit weird..
Is the Land Rover Eddy's car?
Yeah, it's the car he drives the most often.
Like I said to Badunk DJ, if you really like this series, you should check out "Les Lyonnais"
