Black Spot, also known as Zone Blanche in French, is a television series that premiered in 2017 and is currently available on Netflix. The show is a mix of crime drama, mystery, and supernatural elements, all set in a small and isolated French town called Villefranche.
Major Laurène Weiss is the lead detective of the town's police force, tasked with solving crimes that are six times higher than the national average. She is a complex character with a troubled past, and her connection to the town goes beyond her job - she grew up in Villefranche and has a personal investment in solving its mysteries.
One of the main elements of the show is the town itself, which is surrounded by dense forest and has limited technology and communication with the outside world. This isolation, coupled with the supernatural occurrences that seem to happen more often in Villefranche, adds to the mystery and intrigue of the story.
Weiss is often aided by a team of eccentric characters who have their own connections to the town, including a prosecutor who is trying to rebuild her family's legacy, a forest ranger with a mysterious past, and a young woman with a unique ability to see things others cannot.
Throughout the series, Weiss and her team are tasked with solving various crimes, many of which are connected to the town's past and its wealthy families. Each case brings new secrets to light and adds to the overarching mystery of Villefranche.
Overall, Black Spot is a dark and captivating series that blends several genres and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Its unique setting and memorable characters make it a must-watch for fans of crime dramas and supernatural thrillers.
