BBC Four Saturday at 9 PM Paris Police 1905 was a mix of satire and tragedy worth watching, with some very moral extremes, locking away all the prostitutes while the GPs get the men to promise in writing they will abstain from sex cutting, diseases and orphans.
Also, we saw some comedy involving various officers acting out in the woods about how they thought a man had died, in the same fashion as Poirot, one of the characters was obsessed with his car bragging about his driving skills until he crashed into a Horse.
After he had crashed into the Horse, they were holding him back from the wreck of his car, resting across a Horse, one officer shouting, "Put him out of his misery" he thinks they are talking about him. The tragedy was that the vehicle had run over a Horse. I considered it to be satire in the darkest form.
Those French-subtitled foreign language dramas all move too fast because subtitles distract from the action on screen. It is an excellent drama worth watching.
