Origins(2014)

Origins is a French crime series that pairs a genealogist with a cop to solve a murder by uncovering its hidden roots. Margot Laurent, a genealogist, and Arthur Du Plessis, a confident young detective, investigate a killing that leads them deep into a family's fabricated history and dark secrets. While Arthur pursues the culprit with pragmatic urgency, Margot digs into the past, tracing the genealogical threads and family traumas that prefigured the tragedy. Their contrasting approaches—one focused on arrest, the other on ancestry—reveal how old wounds and buried histories shape present crimes. Origins explores the idea that every murder carries layers of family dysfunction and long-ignored trauma, transforming a straightforward whodunnit into a psychological portrait of generational damage and the secrets families keep.
