Just....no

Total waste of time. While a premise sounds interesting the execution is a mess. Most of characters are annoying enough you want to strangle them (and those are just the protagonists), story takes forever to get going and with 6 eps that leaves ending rushed. Show tries to use red herrings about main villains but rather than "oh, nice trick" end result feels more like writers brainstorming various ideas and then not wanting to drop any they came out it (and all are so cliche), the twists and revelations from the past are not surprising but just there for the shock value and because such show needs to have them.

Show even failed to create a proper atmosphere. The town is neither creepy nor "so picture perfect it's creepy".

French TV has managed to produce good shows with "secrets form the past resurface when a new crime is committed in small, out of the way village/town" theme but this one is not one of them. Best to avoid it.
