Set in a macabre world of gruesome crimes and harrowing rituals, „The Crimson Rivers“ is a breathtaking series based on the best-selling novel of the same name.
The series follows detective Pierre Niémans and his new partner Camille Delauney as they investigate a series of bizarre crimes in remote regions of France. Their cases invariably involve a shocking brutality far beyond the capacity of local police departments and provide an opportunity to discover an aspect of French history or beliefs grounded in local culture. Each case has a mystical touch, based on regional myths or forgotten customs.
“A compelling French thriller in which almost every word uttered by an absurdly attractive cast is loaded with sexual tension. Beneath the flirting lies a substantial plot.” – The Guardian
“The thriller series format ‘The Crimson Rivers’ provides exciting and dark thriller entertainment. The conspiracy stories are a little fantastic at times, but ‘The Crimson Rivers’ shows that high suspense can be compelling without over-the-top violence.” – brutstatt.de
“Each investigation exploits an original theme, hunting with hounds and its curious rituals, the strange rule of a religious sect, the heavy secrets of a reformatory and the esoteric research of Cistercian monks.” – DVDFr.com
