Season 1
The started off fine, but you need a big woolly jumper just to watch. It looked so cold and bleak.
It is set in Labrador, Northern Quebec in French with English subtitles.
This first season is set in the mining town of Fermont, north-eastern Quebec, Canada.
Fermont's major structural feature is popularly known as the Wall, which comprises self-contained residential, commercial, recreational and educational buildings.
In La Faille the main protagonist, detective sergeant Céline (Isabel Richer), is sent from provincial capital Quebec City to investigate the murder of a stripper-prostitute, inside the Wall. Assisting Céline is local uniformed policeman Alex (Alexandre Landry).
Céline encounters her estranged daughter Sophie (Maripier Morin) who is married to the mine-owner's son Lou (Jean-Philippe Perras).
I was expecting this to finish around episode 4, or 6 at the latest, but it was drawn out way too long to 8 episodes.
By the end it all got so contrived and bizarre that it was very difficult to work out what it was all about.
Especially, frustrating was not knowing what happened to Lou and whether he was culpable in one or more misdemeanours.
