Blood of the Vine
Season Four
Benjamin Lebel is a luminary in his field: a renowned wine expert who publishes a keenly-awaited new guide every year. When the local police chief enlists his help in the hunt for a serial killer who combines murders with Grand Crus, Benjamin's intuition and his nose are stimulated by the puzzling case. They both prove infallible as he works his own investigation in the sumptuous settings of the wine-growing regions in France. Bitten by the investigative bug and welcomed by the police as an expert, he seeks out new mysteries to solve in the heart of Bordeaux and in the regions of Cognac and Champagne. Adapted from the crime novels by Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noël Balen, Blood of the Vine is a series of full-bodied, yet light thrillers!
The Sulfate Sprayer Massacre — Benjamin reluctantly agrees to meet with a business partner to discuss the appraisal of a failing estate, unaware of its tumultuous history. When the murder of a young man connected to the estate occurs during his visit, he discovers a hornets' nest of greed, revenge and family conflict.
Thunder in the Corbières — A determined author insists on having Benjamin's old articles from his youth published, but soon after dies in a suspicious hit-and-run accident. Mounting his own investigation, Benjamin uncovers a sinister plot related to an old friend and fellow enologist and some articles the author was about to publish.
Black Wine Chaos — At the first tasting of a wine that Benjamin helped cultivate, he and Matilde confront the unthinkable: a dead body in one of the barrels. Benjamin's investigation reveals hatreds, jealousy and a quest to stop at nothing in order to destroy the owner and ruin the reputation of an established estate.

Little Murders by Agatha Christie
Set One
Agatha Christie's world-famous mysteries are delightfully adapted in a new series of French TV movies — sexy, witty and definitely addictive! Set in the 1930s, these iconic stories introduce two new investigators in classic Christie style: Superintendent Larosière, whose passion for beautiful women is matched only by his love of solving puzzling crimes, and his young colleague Inspector Lampion, whose modern sensibilities sometimes clash with those of a less-enlightened age.
The fun comes from their combustive dynamic — the bombastic Larosière thinking he knows it all, until Lampion sets him straight. Beneath the barbs, however, lies a foundation of respect and affection. Enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries as youve never seen them before with a decidedly French twist.
This set includes:
• The Moving Finger based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name;
• Five Little Pigs based on the Hercule Poroit novel of the same name;
• The Ebb and the Flow based on the Hercule Poirot novel Taken at the Flood;
• The Knife on the Neck based on the Hercule Poirot novel Lord Edgeware Dies; and
• Sleeping Murder based on the Miss Marple novel of the same name.
In French with English subtitles.

As the stakes rise higher than ever, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) makes his final exit in the unforgettable conclusion.
