Summary
Late 80’s in Northern France, women are being sexually assaulted along the same road by the Samber river – with attacks taking place early mornings and in a similar style. The police fail to get to grips with the extent of these assaults or make a connection between the cases. The justice system is overwhelmed by the accumulating cases. It will take 30 years to catch a man, who never stopped attacking women and is responsible for at least 54 cases of rape or sexual assault.

Découverte par hasard, je cherchais une mini série Très bonne trouvaille ! Inspirés de faits réels, cette série française nous emmène dans le nord de la France où l'on suit pendant 30ans l'un des plus grosses affaires judiciaires du nord. J'ai adoré, c'est raconté avec justesse sans tombé dans le voyeurisme. Vraiment une bonne série !
Du bon ftv comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent
