About the series

What it’s about

In the 1930s, renowned surrealist artists, including René Magritte, gather in a lavish mansion. Their stay turns sinister when they are locked in with a mysterious serial killer on the loose.

What hooks you

The series features Pierre Gervais as René Magritte and Stephen Tompkinson as DCI John Thistletwaite. Directed by Hans Herbots and Matthias Lebeer, it combines detective work with surrealist art in a six-episode run.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who enjoy period mysteries with artistic flair, where tension builds slowly and the suspects are as eccentric as the crime. Those who appreciate a blend of historical figures and classic detective puzzles will find it engaging.
