Revenge drama Woman of the Dead has landed on Netflix today (January 5) with all six episodes streaming globally on the platform now. The German show also known as Totenfrau is based on the 2015 novel by author Bernhard Aichner. The drama follows a woman who embarks on a journey of cold-blooded revenge following the death of her husband.
As she seeks to find out the truth, she will also undercover many ugly secrets from her close-knit community.
A trailer for the show was dropped back in November last year and featured a summary underneath, which read: “Blum, owner of a funeral parlor [sic] in a popular ski resort and loving mother of two children, is shaken to the core when her husband dies in an accident.
“Soon she realizes [sic] that he was murdered because he was about to unfold a terrible secret.
“This revelation sets her on a quest for revenge, however, it’s not long before the hunter becomes the hunted.”
The trailer also whets viewers’ appetites with the opening shot featuring one character warning: “This place is damned by God. It takes from us everything we hold dear.”
Along with idyllic shots of snow-capped mountains where the show is set, there are scenes of violence as audiences are plunged deep into the quagmire.
The story has been described as Kill Bill meets with Dexter via Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and the teaser certainly does have touches of these three stories.
Additionally, there’s the promise of an overarching conspiracy theory which is reminiscent of HBO’s True Detective, complete with creepy masks and a trafficking ring.
