Well, it’s over now. Time for a collective snivel by viewers of quality TV in Britain. Please, Sir, can we have some more? Etc, etc.
Let’s face facts, season two of Spiral aka Engrenages has just finished on BBC4. So let’s look over the final episode and the season as a whole, because until season three pops along, this is all we’re getting.

You may have noticed last week that I was a bit worried that the final two episodes of Engrenages (Spiral) were going to be a let down. That the producers might not be sure where they were going, or might have made a mistake or two.
Foolish me. Even the subtitles were excellent this week.

Tension mounts on Engrenages as the police close in on Aziz, we discover that French domestic violence laws need some work, and that France’s witness protection programme needs even more work (because it doesn’t have one).
Not that you’d be getting all that tension necessarily from the subtitles – which need work, too. Spoilers and more after the break.
It’s an advert for Canal+, France’s (sort of) equivalent of HBO which makes Engrenages (Spiral) – so I guess they’d know.

Last week‘s slight holding pattern is abandoned in this week’s Engrenages (Spiral) as Samy, the Special Branch officer, begins to work his magic on the investigation and Aziz comes back into town.
Spoilers and more after the jump.
