The English-dubbed version of A French Village: Season 4 begins streaming in the US and Canada on Tuesday, March 11, exclusively on MHz Choice and its digital channels, including MHz Choice on Prime Channels.
Public Enemy: Season 1 (Ennemi public) (Belgium)
Set in the Belgian Ardennes, the first season of this French-language noir mystery-crime thriller revolves around the investigation into the disappearance of a young girl. When convicted child serial killer Guy Béranger (Angelo Bison, Resistance) is released after spending twenty of his thirty-year sentence in prison and paroled into the care of the monks at the abbey in Vielsart, the townspeople are upset as all get-out that this multiple child murderer is now living in their midst. Even the monks are unhappy, save one: Frère Lucas (Clément Manuel, Ganglands), whose compassion is mixed with curiosity about the man whose prison doctor asserts is already manipulating the monk.
The locals aren’t thrilled that Chloé Muller (Stéphanie Blanchoud, Spiral) is here, either. She’s an investigator who’s been seconded to the town’s small police force to supervise the Béranger operation alongside Vielsart’s chief officer, Michaël Charlier (Jean-Jacques Rausin, Into the Night). He has two young children; she has night terrors and a connection to Béranger she isn’t aware of yet. Together, they ensure that Michaël’s team guards the abbey’s grounds and exits and that Béranger stays put.
Then young Noémie Vanassche goes missing and, no surprise, Béranger is the prime suspect in her disappearance. As Chloé investigates, tempers are flaring and resentment is growing amongst the townspeople, who fear for the safety of their children (amongst other things). For them, getting rid of Béranger seems the only proper thing to do…
Public Enemy: Season 1 returns to streaming in the US and Canada on Tuesday, March 18, on MHz Choice and its digital channels, including MHz Choice on Prime Channels.
The Break: Season 1 (La trêve) (Belgium)
Another series set in the Belgian Ardennes is this intricate, intense, and suspenseful crime thriller, whose first season alternates between the present day and the events leading up to it. Yoann Blanc (Pandora, Helvetica) stars as Yoann Peeters, a detective who recently moved back to his hometown with his teenage daughter, Camille (Sophie Breyer, Laetitia), after a family tragedy.
Three weeks ago, Yoann Peeters began investigating the death of nineteen-year-old Driss Assani (Jérémy Zagba, Unit 42), a recent Togolese immigrant and rising soccer star, which he suspects is a murder and not suicide. Realizing that he’s the only person committed to solving the case, Yoann, along with Sébastian Drummer (Guillaume Kerbusch, Moloch), an idealistic and inexperienced police officer, finds himself confronted with a complex crime. The deeper he goes, the more troubling things become — with the ultimate mystery being why Yoann is being held in a psychiatric facility.
The Break: Season 1 returns to streaming in the US and Canada on Tuesday, March 25, on MHz Choice and its digital channels, including MHz Choice on Prime Channels.
