Our take

Presented in its original serialized form, this epitome of the arthouse TV series (is there such a thing?) is a first-class surreal whodunit which has already earned its place next to Twin Peaks. Who would have thought Bruno Dumont could make us laugh out loud? Enjoy: this is just the beginning.
