Synopsis
Black Spot (Zone blanche, 2017) Season 1 — watch online on iFILM. This French-Belgian forest noir runs eight episodes in Villefranche, a town swallowed by woodland where phones lose signal and the murder rate sits six times the national average.
Major Laurène Weiss takes every case as if the forest were testing her alone. The season starts with a woman found hanged among the trees and a new prosecutor who reads the town's quiet rules as an outsider. Then it widens. A wolf stands guard over an abandoned newborn. A caver crawls out of the grottos traumatised, his friend gone. Trucks slip into the woods after dark. Behind the weekly cases a longer thread tightens: the mayor's missing daughter, and Laurène's own kidnapping twenty years back, the wound she still carries.
The show films nature as a character in its own right — fog, roots and silence press harder than any culprit. Fans of Twin Peaks and Nordic crime will find the right mood here. Stream Black Spot Season 1 online on iFILM.
