Spiral (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spiral is a French television police drama series in eight parts created by the TV production company Son et Lumière. The first episode was broadcast by Canal+ in France on 13th December 2005, and it has the rare distinction amongst French TV programmes of having been broadcast in the United Kingdom.
Its title in French is Engrenages, primarily meaning "cogs", but also with the sense of figurative spirals (into violence, for example).
Spiral was shown on BBC Four during the summer of 2006, receiving a modest but loyal audience and firm critical approval. Many of the shows fans in the UK hope to see more French television similar to Spiral.

[edit] Story
The story of Spiral begins with the discovery of the badly beaten body of a young Romanian woman on a Parisian rubbish dump. Her identity and past life are gradually uncovered as the various parts of the French justice system investigate her death. However, it becomes apparent that her story ties to a network of corruption touching the very people charged with uncovering the truth about her.
