The body of a teenage girl is found in the forest near the rural village of Manscheid, deep in the North of Luxembourg. Luc Capitani, a gruff detective from the South of the country, is put in charge of the case. Having trouble navigating the closed, communal and protective mentality of the northerners, Capitani finds himself unwillingly dependent on the help of Elsa Ley, a young and intrepid local policewoman. The officers quickly find themselves entangled in a web of secrets and lies.
Acting
Luc Schiltz's weathered face does 80% of the storytelling.
Cinematography
The Ardennes forest: character, mood, and menace combined.
Writing
North vs. South tension sharper than the actual murder plot.

Creator Thierry Faber fought to shoot in Luxembourgish rather than French; Netflix initially balked, making this one of the few global crime series in a language spoken by fewer than 400,000 people.
