Channel 4 has just dropped The Invisibles to stream (Picture: Storia Television/FTV/Sofie Gheysens)
Fancy a show that was drawing Slow Horses comparisons ahead of its release?
Channel 4 has just dropped The Invisibles in time for the weekend – or Les invisibles for those who finished their GCSE French – and the premise is just as much Slow Horses as it is Dept Q, another show that drew a huge audience this year.
The French drama, which aired abroad in 2021, has just been added to the streaming service’s Walter Presents platform, which spotlights the best dramas from abroad and always seems to have something decent waiting in the wings.
Starring Deborah Krey as the no-nonsense Captain Darius, this six-part crime drama sees her head up a motley troupe of underdog coppers. Much like the occupants of embattled Slough House, it’s a dysfunctional gathering of individuals.
Also like those in the Dept Q basement under the watchful eye of Matthew Goode, this maverick crew is tasked with cracking a series of police cases that have been given up on.
They’re the gang, which counts in its numbers a duchess, a tough vet, and an ex-boxer, who make a break in the investigation because their methods are unorthodox.

However, these aren’t your average cold cases. As the Channel 4 synopsis explains: ‘Found an unknown body?
‘Call The Invisibles, the misfit cops who have a week to solve the crimes behind nameless bodies; or into mass graves the victims go.’
The grim business of identifying the bodies in question certainly doesn’t make for dull viewing.
What other police dramas can you stream now?
- The Asset. The crime drama lays out an intricate web of deception behind the scenes at Denmark’s Security and Intelligence Service.
- Absentia. Special Agent Emily Byrne has returned from being officially declared dead six years ago. Can she find out who held her hostage?
- The Roots of Evil. Like True Detective before it, two coppers are put onto a brutally violent case.

The cases of the week include a bride who has been discovered in her wedding dress as well as a skeleton unearthed in the wall of a house.
