SPIRAL

9PM, BBC4 ★★★★

The eighth and final season of this Parisian crime drama begins in quietly compelling style, with Laure’s sidelined team feeling very bored indeed. They take a case no one else wants – an overdose in a launderette – and hope for the best, while Laure also drops in on Josephine (Audrey Fleurot, left), who is living with her ex-cellmate.
