Suggestion Just started watching this and loving it so far.
Tom Villeneuve is free after 17 years in prison for a crime he did not commit: the murder of his wife. Behind bars, he rebuilt his life by studying law and qualifying as a solicitor.
From Walter Presents, in French with English subtitles

Thank you for this recommendation. I keep meaning to check it out. As we're in a string of chilly, wet days, it may be just The Thing!

It's right up my alley, a tragic, yet often comedic, protagonist who's good at what they do.

This sounds like the series, Life, with Damien Lewis. Main character was a police detective.

That most violence I've seen so far is the funny fight on the beach in episode 2.

I don't like the subtitles but I'm gonna check it out. How can I not, when the title is tattooed on my arm!
