The Chalet (2018) is inspired by Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. But this show does it with a stylish French twist. A group of attractive couples are gathering at a chalet in a tiny town in the French Alps to celebrate the upcoming marriage of their friends. As their convoy of cars approaches the town on an ancient bridge, part of it crumbles behind them, cutting them off from civilization. They quickly lose cell-phone service, and when some of the men venture out to get help, they don’t return. Soon it becomes clear that they are being picked off, one by one. This 2017 narrative runs parallel to the origin story from 20 years earlier, in which a Parisian couple with two young children rents the same chalet. Their presence doesn’t sit well with the insular villagers, and, without explanation, the family disappears. Many contemporary thrillers sacrifice the suspense that comes with the question of who did it to the matter of why, but The Chalet handles both with Gallic élan. —Lisa Henricksson
