Her bizarrely staged, ritualized murder is clearly the work of a serial killer working both sides of the Franco-Swiss border. Actor Marina Hands, of the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise, and Sofiane Zermani (A.K.A. French-Algerian rap artist Fianso) lead a talented cast in the emotionally complex, continually surprising detective series <b><i>Off Season<\/i><\/b>.
