Changing blogging domain and site

Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around. One thing one can say about Blogger is that it is easy to work with.  This site will no longer be updated Follow me to my new domain @  thecontentreader.com Hope to see you there.  Lisbeth @ The Content Reader

Paris in July 2018 - French TV-series


The Content Reader


For Paris in July, hosted by Tamara at Thyme for Tea, I had a plan to see a French TV-series. I have watched a few the last year and I find them interesting and good. I have seen Marseille, a political thriller and The Frozen Dead, a crimi about a serial killer. To my great joy I saw that there is a new French crimi on Netflix, La Forêt/The Forest, which I started yesterday. Started and finished the six episodes at 1.30 a.m. Yes, it was that good and exciting.

"Sixteen-year-old Jennifer disappears one night from her village in the Ardennes. Captain Gaspard Deker leads the investigation with local cop Virginie Musso, who knew the girl well. They are helped by Eve, a lonely and mysterious woman."

That is a short summary of the story. It takes place in a small village where everyone knows each other. Ten years earlier two girls disappeared in the forest and now another three girls disappear. Each of the five episodes (six in total) ends with a cliffhanger, so that is why it was so difficult to stop watching. I will not spoil the thrill by revealing anything more of the story, but little by little new things turn up. When people realise it has to be someone close by the normal friendliness of the villagers disappear, and human emotions come to the surface, and not always in a nice way. I really liked the plot and although I had slightly thought of who the real culprit could be, it was not until the very end that it was clear. The only thing I felt was a little bit "unrealistic" was the resources that this small village gendarmeri managed to get from the regional office. But a small thing in the overall, very exciting thriller.

The good thing with Netflix is that we get to see tv-series and films also from other countries, which makes for a little bit of diversity in the overall English/American dominance. Especially useful for Paris in July.

    1. I think you will enjoy it. What I don't understand though is why people would enter into the forest alone, and in the middle of the night, when they know people have disappeared or been attacked? It happens in several series I have seen lately. I would never do it, even if I knew nothing was happening! But, I guess it keeps the suspense going. Enjoy!

    2. I always wonder why they would go in the forest alone! Or enter a house that had been broken into. Don't they watch TV??? :)
