Wonder if anyone else watched it.Its 6 episodes, and in French, but with subtitles. Dropped on New Years Eve IIRC.
Its about a police officer trying to solve a series of murders, with the help of his mother; herself a serial killer. Stars Carole Bouquet, aka the hottest Bond Girl ever and some French actors, I have never heard of, but seemed good.
A bit grisley at times, not unexpected, considering the subject matter, so don’t watch it with your kids. Spoilers to follow.
I enjoyed the fact that they delighted in subverting tropes, though they went a bit too far with making Séverin, a an obssessed fan rather than the killer; and its not clear how the team realised he was lying about being the copy cat. Alternately, I think the reveal that (ok I’ll spoil it)
The Grandfather was an abuser was telegraphed very early on. It was also clear that the killer was someone we had seen, although Virginie being it was surprising. Moreoever, the actress was too pretty to be realistically a Male to Female Transgender who had undergone a botched back alley procedure
On the plus side, Carole Bouquet, acts magnificently, she portrays dull, bored, indifference very well (January Jones, please take note). Plus she seems genuinely aroused by the snuff films she sees.
