The celebrated French police series returns for a third season, darker and sharper than ever, in Spiral: The Butcher of La Villette.When the mutilated body of a young woman is found on a disused railway track in the North of Paris, Police Captain Laure Berthaud seizes the opportunity to restore a tarnished reputation and leads her squad on the hunt for what she believes to be a deranged serial killer. Delving into the mysterious recesses of a disturbed mind while investigating the harsh world of a prostitution ring, with her personal life in tatters and a potential rift emerging from within her own ranks, Berthaud's world is on the verge of disintegration.Meanwhile, Judge Fran?ois Roban doesn't know how to win friends and influence people when he investigates a bribery scandal involving a prominent political figure. The impeccable career of Public Prosecutor Pierre Clément's falls into disrepute when his insistence on integrity makes him a pariah in the corridors of justice and ambitious barrister Joséphine Karlsson attempts to untangle herself from some dubious associations - with dangerous consequences. As reality spirals out of control for each character, the pace quickens, the narratives overlap and the boundaries between private and professional lives become increasingly blurred in this superbly taut thriller.
Mike Baxter is the marketing director for an iconic outdoor sporting goods store. He loves to have adventures while he's traveling for work and, of course, he drives a pick-up truck. While Mike is king of the hill at work, he's the odd man out in a home that is dominated by women -- namely his wife, Vanessa, and their three daughters, 22- year-old Kristin, 17-year-old Mandy and 14-year-old Eve. After being a stay-at-home mom for years, Vanessa recently returned to the workplace and was quickly promoted (much to the dismay of her primarily male co-workers). As a result of Vanessa's increased work load, Mike is pulled into more hands-on parenting than ever before.
