From Amazon Prime:
A mysterious Superintendent with a troubled past teams up with a young, reckless female inspector to solve a series of troubling murders.
From Amazon Prime you can stream the 4 episodes of this French detective series. Each episode lasts a bit more than an hour and a half. Spoken French with English subtitles.
No visual punches are pulled in these episodes: nudity, beheadings, headless naked bodies entwined and other delights.
What is even more of a novelty is that Mariella de Luca, the “young reckless female inspector,” at night dons a disguise, including a silver wig, and has sex with male strangers she finds online.
Each episode features a separate crime, while underlying all four episodes are two themes:
- What happened to the missing adult son of Commissaire Rousseau, Marielle’s boss?
- Can Marielle ever find true love instead of being sexually promiscuous?
By the end of the last episode both questions are resolved. And while getting to that end we can all enjoy a few visual shocks.
