Kohrra

CrimeDrama

When a bridegroom is found dead days before his wedding, two police officers must unravel the troubling case as turbulence unfolds in their own lives and threatens to ruin the case.

Strongest Match

Kohrra keeps the slow, unsettling crime pressure that Had I Not Seen the Sun builds through prison interviews and recurring dread. You get a methodical murder case where investigators’ personal collapse bleeds into the work, so the tension comes from erosion, not action, and the mystery feels quietly haunted.

The Chestnut Man

Netflix • May 7 • 2021

CrimeDrama

A figurine made of chestnuts is found at the scene of a grisly murder; from this creepy clue, two detectives hunt for a killer linked to a politician's missing child.

Why This Pick

The Chestnut Man brings the same cold, careful dread to Had I Not Seen the Sun’s world of serial-killer unease and lingering romance. Noir mystery grows from one unsettling physical clue into a methodical investigation, with dread stacking scene by scene instead of exploding into action.

Rien ne t'efface

TF1 • Aug 25 • 2025

DramaThriller

Ten years after the tragic death of her son Esteban, Maddi meets Tom, a young boy who looks uncannily like him. Intrigued, she moves from her native Basque Country to be closer to Tom in Auvergne. She quickly discovers that in addition to the physical resemblance, Tom has flashbacks and visions of Esteban's memories. When a series of murders rocks the peaceful region, Maddi can't help but wonder: are these events connected to her son's death? Who is Tom really, and what is his connection to Esteban?

Why This Pick

Rien ne t'efface turns grief into slow dread the way Had I Not Seen the Sun turns interviews into ghost-haunted dreams. A mother’s obsession with a child’s reincarnation memories drives a rural mystery that stays intimate and heavy, with supernatural questions grounded in raw mourning rather than procedural momentum.
