reception
Critics praised the production and compared the style of the series with the American southern drama " True Detective ", in which the landscape is gloomy and oppressive and plays a major role.
“The almost deserted landscape was staged in an unusual way, the Ardennes appear gloomy, mysterious and beguilingly beautiful. [...] The score cleverly quotes from country and western, vaguely reminiscent of 'True Detective' and underlines the strange mood. "
