lizardjims This is simply one of the best crime tv series I've ever seen the last decade and one of the most brilliant European television productions airing today. ''Engrenages'' is a French word that can be loosely translated as a complex mechanism, and in the series context it refers to the French judicial system from the top ranks till the last patrol officer. All six seasons so far follow a central storyline which involves a grisly crime, mainly homicide or/and rape, and the pursuit of the guilty party from a team of the experienced Paris Homicide Unit. The main characters are Laure (Caroline Proust), the captain of the team, Gillou (Thierry Goddard in a magnificent performance) and Tin-Tin (Fred Bianconi) who, more than often, adopt a convenient interpretation of the legal procedures in order to nail the perpetrator(s). Apart from the Homicide Unit, the series focuses also on the professional and personal lives of a judge, a prosecutor, and a female barrister. The direction and acting are both exceptional and offer the chance for the spectators to learn a bit more about the mean streets of Paris, a metropolis which seems to be always in a flammable situation, facing major problems like drug abuse, extensive street prostitution, aggressive immigrant minorities etc. Actually, sometimes you may feel that you should stop watching ''Engrenages'' for a short while in order to take a breath of clean air, as the depiction of these issues offer no chance of optimism, but on the other hand you can never do that because the plot is so compelling that you are eagerly waiting for more. It is definitely not the usual stuff that the genre offers and you must have a strong stomach to get through the viewing experience, nevertheless, in the end, you realize the brilliance of ''Engrenages'' and wish that in the future we will have the opportunity to see more television productions of the same high-quality standards.
bo-ulrich-2 Season 6 left us with many questions unanswered. Among those: Did Laure reach the woods? Will Tin-Tin see the light and return to the team? Does Josephine investigate Robans original finger-print expert and expose Robans lie in court? How was the exchange from 240.000 euros to kilos of dope made and who has the money now? Will Roban have a successful operation and return to work? Is anyone picking up the baby from the hospital? Perhaps Herville and Madame Mayor is starting an affair? Will the evil Marchard get his comeuppance? These and many other questions will be answered in episodes of season 7,. soon to be aired on your local network (hopefully)
ptricker-55880 I hope there is a review of making series 7 the last. Characters and storylines completely engaging and the world stops for this. Some spin offs spring to mind, Joséphine Karlsson s life is never dull for instance. Series 7 mustn't be the last. A campaign needs to be started.
c-williams-3 Rarely have I seen such magnificent "method acting" on TV...sensational Gilou is an absolute revelation & probably the best acting I have seen since very early De Niro! Gobsmacking TV
