Another slow week for acquisitions, with only the redoubtable Walter choosing to buy anything at all, and he’s gone for a couple of French thrillers, both from France Télévisions:

  • Maman a tort (Mother is Wrong) 
  • Noces rouges (Crimson Wedding)

Otherwise, it’s all up to Netflix, as per usual.
