I’m sorry that you see things your way.Okay, I’m going to call an end to this clash of opinions. Why is transgender off the table? They are “charaters” who make bad choices & in this case because of childhood trama, could be any of us. She changed her name when she went to prison. Decades after her capture, a serial killer offers to help solve a string of copycat murders -- but only if her son, now a cop, will work by her side. She missed one – the one she missed was obviously suspect for There were plot twists and surprises at every turn. As is the case with real life, the intentions might be good but we are all judged by the results. No one seems to be who the appear to be in this series.While it isn’t impossible for a transgender individual to be a killer, it’s a tired old shortcut to demonize the person who is different and make them the villain.

As you said, the inclusion (and I use that word ironically) of a transgender killer was solely done to “explain” why the killer was crazy. Especially women.

I mean, I understand the impulse to say a trans person’s ‘personal background’ shouldn’t matter in making them a criminal in a fictional series, but in a world where a) transpeople–transwomen in particular–are SO much more likely to be the targets of violent crime and b) where the narrative trope of “transperson enraged / confused about their gender turns them murderous”, this is lazy and frankly irresponsible storytelling. La Mante has picked up comparisons to other crime thrillers like the The Sinner – the under-the-radar show that took a similar path a few months ago – and Idris Elba’s Luther. Even his wife Lucie (Manon Azem) thinks his mother is dead.

And yes, it does happen that I find myself screaming, when watching a good horror movie. They don’t need further demonizing. This is correct.When they start talking about a suspect being a very strong and athletic woman, it was a When you combine those two, you get someone close to Damien (and his wife), who is in fact, transgender.

You can even have, like, three or four transpeople in your story. Ditto on the plot gaps you mentioned.It was incredibly out of left field and entirely unnecessary. Jeanne offers clues from jail, which makes Damien seem to know things he couldn’t possibly know and raises suspicions on his team.The case upsets Damien and his behavior at home makes Lucie realize he’s lying about something.The copycat killer continues murdering people and the cops don’t figure out who it is in time to save but one victim. The copycat fled with Lucy as a hostage.

Fortunately, horror doesn't use this nearly as much as comedy. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

And yes, it does happen that I find myself screaming, when watching a good horror movie. The cop Szofia (Élodie Navarre) is very suspicious of Damien.

Synopsis:Damien discovers, too late, that the enemy was there, right next to him. 10/10 do recommend as long as you can deal with subtitles i need a new tv series to take on. La Mante (transl. It’s a shame because prior to episode six, I was very captivated by some excellent writing, storytelling and acting.I felt the same way. There were several plot holes with ages, etc. The killer could have been any race, ethnicity, gender. Unofficial sultan of gore Stephan King himself tweeted to say the show offered, "previously unexplored realms of gruesomeness" and it currently has an impressive 80% score on Rotten Tomatoes.Extra points if you can binge the six part series by the weekend, like these fans clearly did.La Mante was one of the best shows I’ve watched in a very long time. And people assume horror lovers are the messed up ones. I think they wanted Jeanne to be a sympathetic character and I just couldn’t get behind that – there is never a “great motive” for killing people.

This is an actual storytelling trope, not just a random “race, ethnicity, gender” thing.Eva, if you google ‘transgender roles in tv and film’, you’ll see a long list of different characters.

It was chilling.I kept going back to that chilling smile……excellentI liked the actors, Ms Bouquet in particular, but I didn’t like any of the characters. In Paris, police search for a psychopath whose murders are inspired by Jeanne Deber, known as "The Mantis", a famous serial killer who terrorised the country 25 years ago.

By the end of the episode it was clear that we are not yet supposed to know that Virginie is the killer, so I was disappointed by the unintended spoiler.Joanie, I noticed that too. It shouldn’t matter! Also, we’ve binged many times on Criminal Minds, that longstanding procedural thriller about the hunt for serial killers.I don’t think most people watch such programs for the gore. I’m sure you worry about the safety of your daughter just the way I do about him. I was just so upset about the tired old transgender trope that I got a bit carried away.one shouldnt need to know anyone TG to find their treatment in tv and movies by and large offensive, but as the father of a transgender daughter, i was offended by the use of that trope. She’s doing life in prison for 8 murders about 20 years ago.

But, still, enjoyed it thoroughly. Luckily, he has a car so when he is away from his usual safe spaces he isn’t on foot or on public transportation. She’s in prison and offers to help the police if her son – who is also a cop – can be her contact.
