Spiral of Lies

2021 · 1 season

A slow-burning, tense French crime drama that keeps you uneasy as a survivor's past resurfaces.

Overview: 35-year-old Audrey, the only survivor of a mysterious serial killer who raged in the Biarritz region 16 years earlier, is brutally taken back to her past by a new crime: a 17-year-old girl is found murdered on the Basque coast. Nothing links this murder to the series of crimes committed in the early 2000s by the "Itsas Killer," but Audrey is certain that Itsas is back.
How it feels: Tense, dark, melancholic and eerie. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Trauma, mystery, survival, grief
