Hi all,
I'm trying to take my French to a more advanced level and I'm wondering if anyone knows any good TV shows I could watch? I'm looking for something that's native rather than dubbed and has a lot of everyday situations with typical conversational speech. Can anyone suggest any dramas, sitcoms, etc.? I realise that soap operas like Plus Belle La Vie are probably prime candidates but I'd prefer something a bit more, well, interesting if possible. Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi,
I am also really interested in this information. I've been looking for a while and I am more interested in Canadian-french(Québécois) series if possible. I only found la petite vie but I did not enjoy it much. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I recently came across "Engrenages" (french police drama):
IMDB Link By now I've watched 4 episodes of the first season and really like it. The great part (for me) is that the series is being emitted in Great Britain so it's easy to get your hands on an original version with English subtitles. (I've found that this combination is even more helpful for me than french subtitles, others might think different about that). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks! Engrenages sounds familiar, I think someone mentioned it at a meetup a while ago.
I tried another police drama (Braquo) but it was a bit too difficult for me between the language and the complex plot, so subtitles might come in useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"H" is a hospital sitcom.
I don't know how "everyday" the conversation is in that though. It's still beyond my ability to understand more than about 10% of what's going on. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

translator2: Yeah I know and love DPStream, definitely a useful site!
Eagle32: That looks like it could be entertaining, I'll give it a try. Should be plenty to keep me busy with for now! 1 person has voted this message useful |
