There was a period of time, back around 2015, when I was reviewing a lot of International Mysteries. These were mostly put on DVD by a company called MHZ. They weren’t all good, but it was fun seeing how other countries handled their murder mysteries. Then I got busy, and the well ran dry.
I’ve recently subscribed to a streaming station run by MHZ and am once again enjoying my international mysteries.
I don’t really remember this French series, but you can read my review here.
My wife has been telling me to watch this French series for ages. It follows a group of talent agents as they navigate their professional lives (which involves a lot of crazy work with A-List French celebrities) and their personal ones (which involves a lot of craziness).
I finally sat down with it when I got a copy of the complete series and it is a delight. You can read my full review here.
Over the last few years my movie watching has gone way up and my television viewing has gone down. I find it easier to sit through a 2 hours movie than to make it through several seasons (and many hours) of a television program.
It doesn’t help that there are just so many shows out there. It seems like every other week I’m hearing about some new show that everyone is talking about and is a must-see. Who has the time to watch it all?
I have a bad habit of watching a few episodes of something, then getting distracted by a bunch of movies or another series and I forget to finish a season, never mind an entire series.
Spiral is a fantastic French crime series that I’ve watched 2 or 3 seasons of, but never finished. I’m at the point now where I’d have to start at the beginning, and like I say, who has the time?
Anyway, I wrote a review of Season 2 many years ago and you can now read it at Cinema Sentries.
