Where to find it: Currently fully available in Belgium for free on the RTBF website. It will be broadcasted in France (2 episodes a week) starting from September 16th and be available for free on the TF1 website. You can PM me if you're interested but none of these options work for you.
What is it, in summary?: Hallow's day, 2003. College student Fanny Legoff wakes up in the forest of Brocéliande covered in the blood of her best friend. That girl, Laura Perrier, is nowhere to be found, and Fanny has no memories of the previous night. Twenty years later, now an acclaimed biologist, Fanny works in Paris, away from her native Brittany where those events took place. But when a key piece of evidence is anonymously mailed to her, she decides to go back and investigate the ghosts of her past.
What do you love about it?: WOMEN WOMEN WOMEN. This canon has really fun and out of the ordinary female characters with a wide range of ages and almost all of them morally gray. Kooky magical healer or stalkery true crime youtuber, you can pick your poison. There's a ton of femslash opportunities (the actual romance in the show is het, but the core relationship is the protagonist and her missing best friend). There's also a lot of cool symbolism and very lowkey subtle supernatural elements despite it being a realistic thriller. I'd recommend this to people who enjoy Yellowjackets, if I had to compare it to something popular.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Femslash (and not any particular ship, Fanny is a little black dress to me, she's slashable with the whole cast!), gen that expands on the supernatural elements or the scientific elements. But also kind of anything and everything, I'm in love with this show and would love to see where people go with it.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Nope, you really need to have seen all 6 episodes.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Other than the things you might expect from a crime thriller (blood, firearms, …) there are several heavy mentions of sexual abuse. There's a lot of pregnancy as well.
Language: The show is currently only available in French (afaik) but if this promo got you interested and you don't speak it let me know! I was pondering working on English fansubs in 2025 so I'd love to gauge interest for next year's Yuletide.
