## Synopsis

Stalk (2020-present) is a French teen drama series created by Simon Bouisson and Jean-Charles Paugam for France TV Slash. Lux, an exceptionally gifted computer nerd played by Théo Fernandez, enters a prestigious engineering school and is publicly humiliated by his classmates. Seeking revenge, he turns his programming skills toward hacking their phones and computers, including those of Alma (Carmen Kassovitz), the object of his desires. The engine of the show is the tension between the identity he builds through surveillance and the trap he sets for himself as his digital intrusions edge toward exposure. Each episode weaves hazing, secret relationships and rivalries among a circle of fellow students including Zoé (Zoé Héran), Samir (Yasin Houicha) and Lolo (Rio Vega). The series runs across three seasons of ten episodes each, a serialized French production with a tense, uneasy tone that blends campus romance with a thriller's paranoia. Fans of Mr. Robot, You and Elite will find resonance in its portrait of a brilliant outsider whose hunger for control and recognition pulls him somewhere darker than he intended.
