What Is Netflix’s Under A Dark Sun About?

Fans Of Adolescence Will Find Familiar Ground In Under A Dark Sun
The show, originally titled Qui sème le vent, or Soleil Noir in French, did not get much attention when it landed. There is no official critic score on Rotten Tomatoes yet, and IMDb has only a handful of reviews. Still, the numbers don’t lie, as the show is streaming strong, especially for something that arrived without much buzz.
Its tone shares some DNA with Adolescence, another 2025 limited series that blew up earlier this year. While Under a Dark Sun does not chase awards or cultural noise the same way, both shows dive into murder, grief, and the mess that comes after someone’s gone.
Netflix might not have expected this quiet French thriller to land with so much force, but it has. Under a Dark Sun is slowly but surely making a mark.
