If you want to spend your weekend binge-watching a gritty crime drama, then Channel 4 has got you covered. The first two seasons of The Invisibles are available to watch for free on the streaming service right now.

The show, which originally aired in France in 2021, follows a team of police officers known as the Invisible Brigade, who specialise in cases involving unidentified bodies.

Throughout the series, the group race against the clock to investigate who their mystery victims are and how they died.

"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," reads the description.

The Invisibles (aka Les Invisibles) aired 24 episodes across four seasons, before concluding in 2024. The first season was added to Channel 4's Walter Presents collection last November, with the second arriving earlier today.

Elsewhere, Walter Presents also features a number of similarly gritty crime dramas from across the globe, including supernatural Italian period drama Inspector Ricciardi.

Set in 1930s Naples, the show follows an "obsessive police inspector" who is "cursed with the unusual gift of hearing and seeing ghosts of people who've died violently".

The Invisibles seasons 1-2 are available to stream now on Channel 4.
