First, it's a French-made series that has been around for five years. A season is eight episodes (roughly 45 minutes each), and they've made two seasons. Because of Covid, I doubt that a season three will be made.
What would I call the show? Well....it's a criminal-detective-horror-thriller. Yeah, it's pretty weird.
If you asked me....it's like some French guys discovered 'Twin Peaks' of 1980s fame, and decided to write the weirdest series possible.
The landscape? Here is some valley in southern France....where radio signals don't arrive (no one knows why). A prosecutor from the state has been 'fired' and sent to the this town to handle cases. About every week.....there's some murder going on....weird forest stuff exists, and there's some pretty evil intent by various locals.
On just plain weird script? I'd have to give it a '10'.
On using the term 'Black Spot' for the title? I agree....that conveys nothing much and it was a lousy choice. On use of English translations? They actually did an outstanding there.
So I recommend the show (off Netflex) but will tell you....it is a bit weird.
