A Criminal Affair

This series is basically about two things: (1) A mom trying to overturn her son's conviction for murder; (2) A murder mystery - if the son didn't do it, who did? Or is the son the culprit & deserves to be where he is? The setting is a small town in Quebec. It started off with the mom meeting with 2 investigators - at this stage, I wasn't sure I was going to like it but it became very suspensful! This is an excellent quality production, top rate acting. As I mentioned, the series becomes incrementally more engrossing as it progresses. Initially I found the mother's character rather abrasive, but I got used to her over time - LOL! I really love murder mystery shows - it's my favourite type of program to watch, especially BBC mysteries (i.e., Vera) and Nordic Noir / Iceland / Finnish productions. If you enjoy a good mystery TV show, then recommend you give this one a try. It isn't gory or with gratuitous violence - it's pure suspense. It is in French with English subtitles.
