L'absente

This was certainly a dark drama. Was there a powercut in France when this was filmed, as much of it is hard to see with so little light? It starts interestingly enough when a young girl missing for eleven years turns up, to the delight of her parents. Unfortnately she has amnesia so can't remember anything that has happened. How convenient. That's a plot line that has never been done before. But there is a suspicion, not least from the father, that she is not who she says she is. The investigation is led by a detective known as 'the shark', maybe whale would be more suitable as she is in the last stages of pregnancy and should certainly be on maternity leave. I found the first couple of episodes OK but then it becomes confusing and dreary, not helped by the poor lighting.
