La Mante (2017)
9/10
Gripping series, very well done.

Warning: Spoilers
This series took me on a ride of plot twists and unexpected reveals. The acting, particularly by the amazing lead, Carole Bouquet along with Fred Testot, who plays her son, is riveting.

The only poor note was Pascal Demolon who played the police chief and who constantly looked both baffled and just off the streets needing a fix of some kind.

It's a shame also Netflix didn't see the need to supply an English sound track. The subtitles jumped around from the top to the bottom of the screen and some swathes of dialogue were missing from the subtitles.

The story was believable - a woman becoming a revenging angel from her own history of abuse and those of others she encounters along the way.

It is slow moving and many scenes were too graphic for this viewer. But the French and the British are top of the game when it comes to edge of yer seat crime thrillers.

Satisfying ending. I gave it a 9 out of 10.
