From IMDB review:
The Omerta trilogy is the best series I have ever seen on television. It centers around the RCMP's attempts to take down the head of the Montreal mafia. It is hard-hitting, violent, realistic, and incredibly intense. It is one of the rare shows where I had to keep watching each episode in the DVD set one after the other, hoping I could keep fitting one more in before I had to go to bed.
There are 3 stories in the Omerta series; Omerta 1, 2, and 3. Omerta 1 and 2 are sequential in terms of the story, and should be watched in order. Omerta 3 introduces a new character, and follows his rise in the mafia. What is interesting is that the time-line in Omerta 3 covers both before and after the action in the first two, characters which had been killed off earlier can make appearances without causing plot holes. It was an effective way of creating a full series using many of the same actors.

Couldn't find season 3 or subtitles, but hopefully someone can provide it. Looks like a great series.

Candian French language series
From Amazon review:
Fortier is an extremely engrossing French Canadian police series. The setting is a Montreal police unit who specialize in dealing with "psychiatric" cases. The premise gives the unit a wide range of crimes to deal with, needless to say that they don't deal with run of the mill crime. The acting by the regular cast is top notch and you can feel the how quickly they felt at ease with each other. I must mention that the acting by the various guess stars is first rate. Essentially so since the credibility of many of the episodes rely on their performance. The scripts are solid and subtle and the story is repleted with surprises without being overly gimmicky. There is an overall storyline or should I say mystery that involves the titular character of Anne Fortier that is slowly being developed through out the season and is unresolved as of the end of season one. This is balanced out by mini arc stories that last two episodes. The series is well plotted and populated by interesting and complex characters. Overall highly recommended.

This series has been likened to Forbrydelsen and The Wire.
From wikipedia:
Its title in French is Engrenages, primarily meaning "cogs" or "gears", but also with the sense of figurative spirals (into violence, for example).
Spiral was first shown in the UK on BBC Four during the summer of 2006. It was the channel's first French-language drama series, attracting a modest but loyal audience (around 200,000) and firm critical approval. (Other foreign-language drama series shown on BBC Four have included Heimat and the miniseries of Das Boot.) In April 2007, BBC Four announced it had bought the rights to the second series,[3] which started showing on 13 September 2009.
