In what world does a police officer run after a suspect, weapon drawn, in kitten heels? Why, in France, of course — at least in the France of Hervé Hadmar, the director and creator, with Marc Herpoux, of the Gallic thriller “Witnesses.” The six-part crime drama is available for streaming on iTunes, Amazon and Netflix. “It’s eerie with a hint of the supernatural, wrote Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times. “And paced just right.”
“I confess that this is my idea, and that it is a little absurd,” Mr. Hadmar said of the heels in a phone interview from Paris. “I wanted to write something about this character who wants to be a cop, but she also wants to be a woman — a Parisian, a French woman — so she wants to still wear those stupid boots.”
