Les Ombres Rouges

In 2018, Fench television gave us 'Red Wedding', about the complex history of dark deeds including murder commited by a wealthy family living on the French riveria and starring, among others, Lannick Gantry. A year later, we got 'Red Shadows', about which one can say the exact same things. If anything, the plot of 'Red Shadows' is even less convincing, starting with the premise that the lead detective investigating the initial case is motivated because she's personally involved (and indeed, even became a policewoman so one day she could solve it!). The series keeps us guessing about everyone's motives, but it's hard to feel involved as the body count keeps rising. One feels there must be a stylish, clever thriller to be made in this setting, but both these series are by-the-numbers efforts - and so similar, I accidentally reviewed them the wrong one without noticing before I watched the other one!
