I’m glad you are enjoying Torn. Less sweary than Spiral! I haven’t yet watched the last series of Spiral. I watched the first episode of the last series then went back and watched it all from the beginning again. I’m putting off getting to the end. I don’t want to say goodbye to them all! Bruno Debrandt was also in a series called Detective Cain, as I’m quite interested in him, I’m trying to find it.

I'll probably watch it. Walter Presents does some good European series, currently watching Dutch one "The Adulterer" on All4, I've enjoyed it, there are 3 series, halfway through the last. Attractive people, although that can't be said of the language, very guttural and Germanic. I'll watch Torn, particularly as the lead actor was in Spiral, missing that already having seen the lot now sad and always a plus to hear French.

Moi aussi.

I finished it last night. Lots of interesting characters, and twists, but not too complicated a storyline.

Grandmasue, you guessed correctly! How did I miss this?
As for Bruno, J'ai assez envie de lui.?

I’d love to see it, French being one of my native languages.
How do I get onto all4?

Yes, I'm strangely impatient to get back to it tonight!
Thanks for that.

Just finished it and quite enjoyed it. Some good twists and turns as well.

I've just watched a few episodes. A bit slow in the usual French way and not many views of Provence. But I might come back to it tomorrow to see where it all leads.

Sorry just realised its All4!

What time please, I cant find it!

Looks good. Merci.

I've just read a review for this series in the Guardian and I think it sounds really good. Not least because the main character is played by Bruno Debrandt (Brémont in Spiral) grin.
It sounds like something you would like Marydoll.

This is the link to the review - www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/feb/25/a-bath-for-your-brain-why-french-drama-torn-is-perfect-pandemic-tv

Now I'm just waiting for my time to have control over the remote tonight!
