Spiral - Season 2

Originally released in France as Engrenages, the hard-hitting Parisian cop thriller Spiral became a blockbuster sensation across all of Europe and Australia, winning awards and commendations from TV France, The Royal Television Society in the UK, and from The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in the US. Fans around the world embraced its compelling story and naturalistic style, which even spawned a popular video game.

Intentionally monochromatic photography, starkly filmed decomposing corpses, autopsies and intense interrogations set the tone for this gritty, realistic cop show. Its a police thriller that reveals societys ever-changing codes of law: a dark series with constant and increasing tension. Season 2 begins with a burnt corpse found in the trunk of a car, a seemingly isolated case of urban violence. Prosecutor Pierre Clement, Police Captain Laure Berthaud and examining magistrate Judge Roban investigate the murder and soon find themselves up against the criminal machine that lies behind it. Out of greed, defense lawyer Joséphine Karlsson makes a pact with the drug lords and mounts their defense. As the case grows in complexity and danger, each new piece of evidence unearths a duplicitous world of international trafficking, informers, double lives and arms dealing. An audacious plan to strike at the heart of the crime network means that the slightest slip will result in certain death. A furiously-paced season with characters that become increasingly dark, disillusioned and distorted.
