Synopsis
La Mante (2017), Season 1 — a French crime thriller, 6 episodes, watch online on iFILM. Jeanne Deber, nicknamed "La Mante," terrorized France for years before her arrest. Now someone is killing in her exact style.
The police have no leads and a desperate idea: bring Jeanne out of solitary to hunt her copycat. She agrees on one condition — her only contact will be Damien, the son who chose law enforcement because of her, and hasn't spoken to her since. Six episodes trace the investigation from a clue on a dead man's computer to a live video feed of the next victim. Damien uncovers something buried in his childhood. His wife quietly starts digging into his past. The clock ticks louder each episode.
The show earns its tension from the mother-son dynamic rather than from action — two people who cannot afford to trust each other but cannot catch the killer without it. Stream La Mante Season 1 online on iFILM.
