The Trailer Park

Chaka Kahn's?

 

Did anyone watch the French series Black Spot? I can't recall anyone mentioning it. Well, it's been around for a while. And after feeling extra annoyed with Sisko and Worf, I decided to bench DS9 and give Black Spot a try. (Only just started, though.)

I have not seen that one. The only French things I recall watching are Les Revenants and Spiral/Engrenages.
I may have seen more French things and forgotten about them, but Black Spot was not one of them. Yet.

I think I've held off on seeing it because I was afraid it'd be too similar to Les Revenants. But I don't think it is about dead people coming back, even if a lot of people seem to go missing

Also figured "Black Spot" might be a play on "White Spot on the Map" - and indeed, the French title is Zone Blanche, not whatever Black Spot would be in French.

I've had "Black Spot" in my que for a while, and actually started to watch it the other day, but something came up just a few minutes in. And when I returned, ended up starting "Ozark" instead. So I have only seen the first few minutes. (I think, twice now? I've almost started watching it, but for some reason keep deciding not to for one reason or the other?) Just seen the scene of the guy who gets out the car at the beginning...

I'm still watching Ozark, and apparently, my Wife has really gotten into it as well. Have just a few more episodes and will be on the last season. And she's enjoyed it so much, she's actually been binge watching it for the past couple days. (Something she doesn't do a lot of) - But yesterday, when she was doing some stuff out where I'm working, I didn't want her to be seeing stuff that she hadn't gotten to yet, so I popped on and rewatched "The Bodyguard" series. Since it's only 6 episodes, I ended up just watching out the entire series yesterday since I enjoyed watching the first time.

So it's not a reference to Treasure Island? 

Well, I find Black Spot a bit unusual. It seems to have a separate police mystery every episode, but then this other, supernatural, mystery sort of brooding behind everything else.

Treasure Island?

Edit - could be Macbeth, I guess.... Out damn spot, out!
