Série Noire

This series is a comedy/drama/thriller that follows two writers of a night time soap about the criminal and legal worlds. The writers decide they need to get more first-hand experience to inspire them to write a second season and end up embroiled in the criminal underworld.

Don't let the fact that this is a Canadian production and in French deter you from seeing this series - it is one of the best Canadian television series ever made (although Schitt's Creek and Corner Gas are great too.) Even though this is in French, it is still great with English subtitles. I am not fluent and had to read the subtitles (except when they swore -- that I know in French...) and it was great!

(Added November 2018) Season 2 is not as good as season 2, but still worth watching (maybe a 7/10). You will have to see season 1 to understand who all the characters are and plot.)
