‘The Forest’
In the mood for a solid crime drama but don’t want to devote all of your time off to unraveling a bunch of fictional mysteries? Then Netflix’s French original The Forest is for you. The mysterious series about a missing teenage girl is a fairly by-the-books murder mystery that’s solidly executed, but what makes it great is the series’ tight runtime. The Forest tells its central mystery in a clean six hours. If you’re looking for a quick, palate-cleansing binge in this age of complicated television, this is is.
