many thanks!
The BBC have 8 series of Spiral (police drama) on their catch up service.
You can watch long-running soaps, un si grand soleil & plus belle la vie, on TV5Monde's catch up website. revoir.tv5monde.com
tv5mondeplus.com has some series, mostly canadian I think.
Channel 4 have a lot of french mini-series, but nothing with lots of episodes. Detective Cain is perhaps 20 episodes?
Arte.tv (app for freeview play available) have lots of doccys, not so good for long-running series.
Square Eyed TV
https://squareeyedworld.wordpress.com/Produce a weekly TV guide, I think if you browse their website there is somewhere a summary of all available series on different streaming services.
EDIT
Arte.tv have a Freeview catchup app that you can download on your TV. If you set the default language to French they have some series too. If you set the default language to English, I think it's just documentaries.
