Braquo

Tonight we watched the first episode of this French cop drama that started on FXUK a couple of weeks ago. So far it's v good. Very reminiscent of The Shield, i.e. it's a special Police unit, who don't exactly do things by the book.

I'm not sure about this yet. Maybe it's the totally primitive way that the French police seem to do their job, saw a murder TV series on BBC3 after The Killing and it was much the same.

We didn't get into that BBC3 French cop show, but we're really enjoying Braquo, WWAW, especially for fans of The Shield.

Have to admit it's getting better. Hadn't realised that it's clearly at least a second series as they referred to Eddy the leader as a national hero for catching some murderer. I'm also liking the conflict being set up by the Internal Affairs team trying to bring the team down.

The end of last week's episode was superb with a huge double cross and potential stand-off between two of the team and the female thrid who'd been kept out of the loop...

Watched the finale last night, and really enjoyed it, glad that season 2 is going to be on next year

Ah right, still got the finale to watch but can't wait to see where this is going - suspect it's going to be bloody though...
