"Black Butterflies" on Netflix

[intrepidity]

If you liked "The Serpent" (also highly rec'd) then you'll settle right into this highly disturbing tale of a grisly murder spree across Belgium and Europe in the 1970s. Exquisite job capturing the look and feel of the 70s.

This is a 6-part 2022 French crime thriller drama that unfolds as the main protagonist is telling his story to the man he has commissioned to write a book about him and his partner-in-crime-and-love, Solange.

I binged the first 3 episodes this morning, and while there are 3 more, I already know I'll miss it when it ends, thus a rec.

It's certainly not light holiday viewing, but if--like me--you're attracted to the darker stuff, you'll appreciate this one. Be aware, there are plenty of graphic and potentially triggering scenes.

1. That was an interesting, though disturbing, series.

Well-done, but also creepy and violent. The twisty ending wasn't at all what I expected.

2. I really enjoyed the Serpent so will check this out. Thanks!

3. Black Butterflies

was truly disturbing and I almost gave on it a couple of times (and fell asleep before the end and went back to finish during the light of day), but I'm glad I got to the end of it. Not totally unpredictable and not for the faint of heart, and, thinking back, very clever if you're into strange, thought-provoking dramas (which I enjoy)
