Coppers

Recently rediscovered the 4OD choice of so many fine foreign language shows sadly ignored in the UK because you have to read subtitles and people can't cope. We binge watched all of this in just over a week. It's a perfect mix of criminal of the week and the character arcs that run alongside. Quite dark, but with bright spots of humour to alleviate the gloom. The palette is very blue and green and grey, lots of bleak landscapes and city tenements. The lead's house in contrast is in a leafy area and filled with houseplants. All the actors are talented, and their character's lives are fleshed out beautifully. You can't watch just one!
