    • Goofs
      The town of Heiderfeld, where the action takes place, is in the German-speaking area of the Liège province, in the Fagnes region of Belgium. The Semois, the river "close to the village," in which the body of Driss Assani is found, is in the Luxembourg province, in the Gaumes region, on the opposite side of Belgium. The local media (radio, newspapers) refer to the Gaumes, whilst the characters alternate between Gaumes and Ardenne, the region between the Fagnes and the Gaumes.

    Disturbing
    I like crime/ drama/ thrillers very much. And I do love Europpean take on that area of tv, however, I didn't expect what I have experienced while watching that one. It was deeply disturbing, with some graphic scenes and pretty much depicting human filth in all possible forms. It was very depressing in that extent. And although I watched it awaiting the solution for the whole time - right until the very end, I wouldn't return to re-watch it because I felt exhausted, as if I was in that small town, at the time of those events. For those wo will think "So it's not worth watching" I say - that only proves how good the story is written and executed. Yoann Blanc's acting is a-ma-zing, he presented the rapid mental deterioration in a very beliavable way. His growing suspiciousness is shared by the viewers, although you do realize that he overdoses time and time again and that pills push him over the edge. But you still keep on watching to see whether he was right, what will happen with him... I highly recommend, however - bear in mind that it's not a relaxing tv show for Sunday binge-watching.
