Is it worth starting?
This is 8 seasons deep — French action & adventure with crime threaded through. Starting now means a backlog — worth knowing before you press play.
Don't watch this if…
- you want a number you can lean on. 98 ratings isn't much to go on
- you're not starting an 8-season show this week
- Why
- It rates 7.9/10 on 98 ratings so far — a strong early showing.
- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
Story
This gritty crime drama set in the dark underbelly of Paris follows police officers and lawyers as they investigate and prosecute crimes. Throw any romantic notion of Paris out the window. Crime is dark. The legal system is darker. This is Spiral.
