Might I humbly recommend BBC 4's Belgian made 12 part drama series Salamander. It's in French and Flemish with God's language subtitles - and is truly excellent. Shades of Gladio type modern day power politics originating with the Belgian British resistance in WWII through to current day.
Watched it from the start of its run & thoroughly enjoyed it, for all that the central character is naive beyond belief.
Well, he is only a humble peeler after all.
It's not like he's part of a profession that are engaged in combating crime or anything seriously adventurous like that is it.
Remind me, what do cops do for a living these days? Their raison d'être I mean?
I know they carry flashy badges (warrant cards) and coshes - and yes, sometimes even guns too - and have cars that make infernal noises and flashing lights when they want to get to the pub for an urgent and needed wee dram or twenty. And some of them have an interesting dress sense and barnet's to match, that's undeniable, but what actually are they supposed to do besides that?

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
