We are still not much closer to the full picture of the boy and how his mere presence has created such an uproar in Bozouls, but Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 4 began fleshing it out in some detail.
There are many layers to this entertaining mystery, and as one is peeled away, another is revealed.
The past and present are intricately reliant, and the more we know about one, the more we'll know about the other.
The previews for Monsieur Spade had already hinted at Sam's turn at being a badass, but watching him in action, questioning his attacker with amazing physical prowess without ever leaving his chair, was a treat.
That scene spoke directly to Spade's capabilities and what makes him such a formidable enemy and detective. Even after almost losing his life in a chokehold, he's ridiculously calm and in control.
Filming scenes like that must be a hoot.

ITV tentpole reality program “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” will trade the jungles of down under for a rundown castle in the U.K. after Covid-19 travel restrictions have made producing the show in its traditional New South Wales home too challenging a prospect.

Eliot Goldberg, Evp and head of nonfiction and alternative programming for AMC, Sundance TV and BBC America is stepping down after more than six years.
Goldberg’s No.2, Marco Bresaz, Svp of nonfiction and alternative programming, will step up and lead the nonfiction programming team going forward. The group also includes Kelly Nash, who was recently promoted to VP of nonfiction and alternative programming and will now oversee the West Coast team.
AMC Networks’ unscripted strategy has evolved over the past decade. Flagship network AMC entered the arena in 2011. Three years later, it pulled out of unscripted to focus on its core scripted programming. AMC and siblings Sundance TV and BBC America have been making inroads in the genre recently, growing their non-fiction portfolios.

“It borders on fiction,” Danish filmmaker Mads Brügger explains at one point in “Cold Case Hammarskjöld,” his latest documentary. “Some of it is real and some of it is very difficult to prove.”
If only he had warned us sooner.
“Cold Case Hammarskjöld” is an unusual blend of investigative journalism and tacky artifice. The film chronicles Brügger’s pursuit of the truth behind the mysterious death of former United Nations General Secretary Dag Hammarskjöld, whose plane crashed in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in 1961.

Unlike the rest of the passengers, Hammarskjöld was not burned beyond recognition. He also had a playing card stuck in his collar, which will be important later. And of course, Hammarskjöld was working to protect newly independent African nations from western (formerly colonial) influences. A lot of people had a lot to gain from his work,...

One of the inherent challenges in telling a true crime story is that crimes never exist in a vacuum. For as much as the details behind a particular offense are key, whether it be a misdemeanor or something far more cataclysmic, there are always other factors to consider. “No One Saw a Thing,” a six-part documentary series premiering Thursday on Sundance TV shows what’s possible when “answers” get effectively removed from the Q&a equation. Director Avi Belkin offers a detailed rundown of the circumstances leading up to the death of Ken Rex McElroy, but wisely that is not where the series ends.
Rather than lead up to the public, vigilantist shooting death in the middle of Skidmore, Missouri, McElroy’s death in July 1981 serves as the spark for a long-simmering flame that the show argues is still burning in the collective anxieties of the entire town. Through interviews...

“No One Saw a Thing” director Avi Belkin believes that the murder of the local bully in a small Missouri town — a murder that remains unsolved — is an “allegory about the origin of violence of America.”
Sundance describes “No One Saw a Thing” as a TV documentary examining an unsolved and mysterious death in the American heartland and the corrosive effects of vigilantism in small-town America. The case garnered international attention in the early 1980s after a resident, nicknamed the “town bully,” was shot dead in front of almost 60 townspeople. These witnesses deny having seen anything, to this very day.
Ken McElroy was convicted of shooting and injuring a grocer in Skidmore, a town in Missouri, in 1981, but successfully appealed the conviction. He then resumed his harassment of the grocer, until he was shot dead the following day, in front of at least two dozen people. To this day, no one has been charged.

This is one of those stories that you may think is pretty farfetched… if it weren’t true. From Blumhouse, the producers of The Jinx (another fantastically crazy doc you must see), the series follows the small town of Skidmore, Missouri, where a group of around 60 people took justice into their own hands.
The gang confronted the town bully in front of the local bar, where one person shot him dead in broad daylight. His wife told the police who shot him, but the rest of the town said they were there, and didn’t see a thing… So no one was charged.
While this man may have been a scourge on the town, and some say he deserved it, was this a slippery slope? Since then, other mysterious deaths have occurred throughout the town, and no one knows a thing. Check out the trailer below, and watch the documentary...

From the producers of The Jinx and Get Out comes a haunting new docuseries that digs into a true crime case about an unsolved murder in the American heartland, and how the effects of one sudden act of violence linger to this day. Sound like something you'd be into? Then get ready for Blumhouse Television and Delirio Films's No One Saw a Thing.
In the first trailer for the six-episode documentary series, we're dropped into the seemingly sleepy town of Skidmore, Missouri. Quickly it becomes apparent that looks can be deceiving, however, when it's revealed that the people in Skidmore have communally covered up a fatal act of vigilantism since the 1980s when someone shot the supposed "town bully" dead in front of nearly 60 people in the middle of town. Despite the case garnering national attention decades earlier when the crime took place, the potential witnesses of the Skidmore murder...

If you thought Robert Durst was scary, wait until you meet the townspeople of Skidmore, Missouri. “I was glad he was dead. Killing him was the only way it was gonna stop,” sounds a woman’s voice in the first trailer for “No One Saw a Thing,” a new documentary crime series heading to SundanceTV in August, produced by Blumhouse.
Per the official synopsis: “A new six-episode true crime documentary series from Blumhouse Television and Delirio Films, ‘No One Saw A Thing’ examines an unsolved murder in the American Heartland and the corrosive effects of vigilantism in small town America. The case garnered international attention in the early 1980s after a so-called ‘town bully’ was shot dead in front of almost 60 townspeople in tiny Skidmore, Missouri. These witnesses deny having seen anything, to this very day.”
“That was the one mistake that they made, was that they didn’t kill his wife.
