If your goal is binge watching this is your perfect choice. I bet you would never stop before you finish the sixth episode. A complete racy crime thriller. It is gory, it is gruesome, it is full of suspense which will bring you to the edge of your seat.

Damien is good police officer who is called from his undercover agent job to a serial murder case because the police were collaborating with another serial killer nicknamed the mantis, whose copycat murders they were investigating and mantis’s condition to help them was to involve Damien. It turns out that Damien is mantis’ son. The drama gains momentum from there and races to the finish.
Stephen King the king of horror said “I'm enjoying LA MANTE (Netflix). It is surveying previously unexplored realms of gruesomeness. I don't believe I've ever seen a man slowly drowning in an industrial washer before. Not even in a Rob Zombie picture.” What more do we want?
