Trauma

I stuggle with movies and tv series because I can guess 99% of the sub plots, which means I rarely enjoy the storyline. I watch to appreciate the other aspects.

BUT... this was delightfully unexpected. Unpredictable plot twists and no unnecessary and unrealistic forced rose colored glasses. It was raw, real, and not wrapped up with a big cheesy bow of love and happily ever afters.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Lots of facts and answers missing at the end of it. Who tried to kill detective? After Internal affairs officer is killed why they didn't just check for fingerprints? Oh Gosh....amateurs!

I somewhat enjoyed this limited 1 season series but I couldn't get past the leg chain coupled with trousers. As one point early in the series she puts her trousers back on, but the leg chain is still attached. A skirt would have allowed this, not the illogical trousers. Someone should have caught that.

Usually enjoy Walter presents but his was completely slow, boring, dark, depressing deliberately obscure. Gave up after 3 episodes. As well as being unbelievable.

I just loved this series. First of all, it is void of any politics and PC messaging which ruins all American productions. It's does what Hitchcock did so well, it creates a world of it's own and invites you in. Every scene in these 6 episodes is focused only on one thing - solving mysteries. It's a tight police-procedural, but also an edge of your seat thriller. A Paris homicide detective working on solving a series of murders, is shot and after 6 days in a coma, he wakes up with amnesia. As he tries to remember not only who he is, who tried to kill him, who the serial killer is, what Trauma (hence the title) he experienced as a 10 year old boy, he also needs to figure out who the woman is who's locked up in his basement. If you like Hitchcock's The Wrong Man and Christopher Nolan's Memento, you should enjoy this. There are many plot twists, but they are all logical, maybe not at first but by the end all the puzzle pieces fall into place.

Great cast of French actors, especially the actor who plays the protagonist who is terrific.
