The Serpent is streaming now on Netflix, and is the streamer s latest foray into true crime. The show, which aired on the BBC in the U.K. in early 2021, tells the story of Charles Sobhraj (played by Tahar Rahim), who evaded the police for decades while embarking on a global crime spree.

The true story behind

Born in what was then Saigon (and is now Hoi Chi Minh City) in Vietnam, Sobhraj criminal career began with petty crimes in France in the 1960s. In fact, he first went to prison in 1963 in Paris for burglary.
Nadine and Remi Gires
Nadine (Mathilde Warnier) and Remi Gires (Grégoire Isvarine) were the French neighbours of Charles and Marie in Thailand.
At the time, Sobhraj was posing as a gem dealer and Leclerc as his wife Monique.
In the series, it is revealed Nadine would introduce Alain to potential clients, some of whom would end up as his victims.
Nadine was unaware of Alain s murderous streak, until Dominique Renelleau (Fabien Frankel), a Frenchman Alain was holding captive in his apartment was able to tell her his suspicions.
As seen in the series, Nadine and her husband Remi assisted Herman Knippenberg and Angela with their investigation into Sobhraj.
