Syndrome [E] (Season 1)

Syndrome [E] (2022) is a French crime thriller series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Laure de Butler built the show around two detectives whose worlds could not be more different — until a single case drags them both somewhere very dark.

Commissioner Franck Sharko is a burned-out cop running on fumes. Lieutenant Lucie Henebelle is obsessed with tracking violent criminals. When a horror-shorts enthusiast goes blind after watching an anonymous short film, a pair of merciless killers starts hunting for the footage. Around the same time, five bodies with crushed skulls turn up near Le Havre. Two seemingly unconnected investigations collapse into one — and Sharko and Lucie have no choice but to work together. Vincent Elbaz and Jennifer Decker play the pairing as two people who irritate each other, not two halves of a hero.

French procedural crime with a genuine horror edge. No soft landings here. Stream Syndrome [E] online on iFILM.
