Our take
When Kill Bill meets Karl Marx in a small town, starring Margot Bancilhon and JoeyStarr, the result is… electric! This action series created by Thomas Bidegain and Fred Grivois, with its movie references and homage to the workers’ struggle, never ceases to surprise with its unlikely twists and off-the-wall characters.
