After being incarcerated for a series of grisly murders, Jeanne Deber, a serial killer who terrorised France, has since spent her days alone in prison. When a copycat killer begins to replicate her horrific crimes, she offers to help their investigation on one condition: her son Damien, who has not spoken to her since her arrest and is now a police officer, must work by her side.
Like The Sinner, the mystery unfolds over the course of six episodes that are brimming with twists and turns. The murder scenes don't skimp on the thrills and gore - hello Luther - while the idea of a serial killer teaming up with the police harkens back to Hannibal Lecter working with Clarice Starling.
In fact, The New York Times compared La Mante to Idris Elba's iconic DCI. "La Mante is as dark as they come — think “Bron/Broen” or “Luther,” a bleak serial-killer show with disturbing visuals and stylish misery," while Decider said: "we'd be remiss not to mention just how strong the storytelling and performances are."
Like many people that have already seen La Mante, Stephen King is already a big fan of the serial killer drama.
