Capitani


CAPITANI - English Netflix Trailer
What's on Netflix

Present day murder mystery set in the village of Manscheid, Luxembourg, except the real Manscheid is in Germany, not Luxembourg (no street view in Germany). It's 25 miles away, so close enough for our purposes, close enough to catch the bus to Belgium for the day.

A 15 year old girl dies alone in the forest and Detective Luc Capitani is assigned to investigate. The girl has a twin sister. One is the goodie two shoes and the other is the wild one. But which one died? And is anyone telling the truth? No, no they are not. Plus Luc's former girlfriend from another life turns up in the same town. Coincidence? I think not, and the nasty woman from Internal Affairs doesn't think so either.

A pleasant little show. Always nice to see what other towns look like, and nice to be reminded of the downsides to living in a small town. You know, mostly what we hear is that people abandoned the farm and moved to the big city for the greater economic opportunity available there. But what if the main reason was because of the anonymity that the big city offered? Maybe people moved to the city to escape the busibodies poking their nose into their everyone's business.

Netflix, 12 episodes, about 30 minutes each. They go fast.
