Netflix is no stranger to dropping true crime docuseries that make our jaws drop.

Recently, we’ve had shocking cases brought to the fore including that of the UK stalker Matthew Hardy, depicted in Can I Tell You a Secret? And the Mumbai-centred case, retold in The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth.

Netflix’s latest limited series is currently the eighth most watched on Netflix UK, and while it has viewers gripped, they have also been left feeling sick to their stomachs.

The four-episode docuseries revisits one of the biggest scandals in French history, featuring both a tragic case of child abuse and unprecedented judicial disaster.

The Outreau Case: A French Nightmare opens with a trigger warning that reads: “This series contains depictions of sexual violence and domestic abuse.

“If you or someone you know is struggling, sources are available at wannatalkaboutit.com.”

The docuseries begins by explaining that between 1995 and 2000 in Outreau, Northern France, children fell victim to heart-wrenching and prolonged sexual abuse.

Ultimately, eighteen people were charged and held but what follows is shocking to the highest degree.

The trials took place in 2004 and 2005.

The French miscarriage of justice implicated most of the small town’s residents in a shocking case of paedophilia and abuse, and had a lasting impact on the victims for the rest of their lives.

Another said: “Watching the Outreau Case and I want to throw up, again, sexualizing children.”

A third expressed their disgust: “I’m watching this Doc. About the outreau case in France. And it’s so f***ing disturbing. Breaks my heart.”

While a fourth commented: "The new Netflix docu 'The Outreau Case' is really disturbing."

Not everybody was able to make it through the harrowing series in one sitting.

One user wrote on X: “Just started The Outreau Case on Netflix. I don’t know what I was expecting but Jesus. 20 mins in and I’ve had to pause it for a bit!”
