All four episodes of 'awesome' survival thriller are free to stream now
The four-episode 'fast-moving' series follows climbing guide Paul (Philippe Bas) who 'takes his antagonistic teenage daughter Sara (Maïra Schmitt) on a trek which pits them against killers after she witnesses a murder.'
The former special forces father must find a way to save himself and his daughter from the terrifying forces threatening to end them before it is too late in this hike-gone-wrong.
The series – directed by Abel Ferry – originally aired in France in 2021 and secured a second season.
Armelle Deutsch, Laurent Maurel, Yann Pradal, and Olivier Sa also star.
Good Housekeeping described it as 'dark, pacy and exactly the sort of crime drama that's worth carving out time' and 'exceptional'.
'Binge watching the French series The Devil's Leap starring Philippe Bas and Maïra Schmitt. The scenery is awesome,' angelathompson5 shared.
'An exciting [show] with beautiful exterior shots. It's enjoyable to watch without being a masterpiece,' Google reviewer Carlo Huss said.
'I had more sympathy for the father; I thought he played his role as a climber authentically. So I really bought into him that he can climb. He carried out the dialogues with his daughter relatively well. Solid performance. The mother also played okay, but also played authentically,' IMDb reviewer ilikeonlygoodmovies in their mixed review.
Although not everyone has had positive reviews with another IMDb user kosmasp calling it 'decent' but 'predictable'. Others dubbed it 'illogical' and 'far-fetched'.
You'll have to watch for yourself to see which side of the fence you land on.

Hollyoaks reveal dramatic moment iconic character returns after one year in unexpected twist
Hollyoaks has revealed the dramatic moment that Tom Cunningham returned to the Channel 4 soap. The iconic character, portrayed by Ellis Hollins, 25, departed the soap in September last year, having played the role of Tom since 2003. Tom and sister Cindy Cunningham had fled the village after discovering her partner Dave Williams (Dominic Power) was none other than mysterious gangster Blue. And in a first look at Tuesdays episode, fans got a glimpse of Tom's return to the show after a once year absence - however, there's an unexpected twist as he's currently behind bars. In the clip, Tom is seen in prison alongside fellow inmate Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey), who had received a visit from Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson). Ste and Rex are seen discussing Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix), but little do they know, Tom is in earshot, and his interest is piqued when he hears the name of his former arch nemesis. Tom consequently gets in touch with Donny Clarke (Louis Emerick), offering up information on Clare. However, Tom later finds himself in danger after Rex is pressured by Clare to murder Tom in prison. In a tense scene in the prison yard, Tom appears isolated and vulnerable, leaving ex with an opportunity to strike. But it remains to be seen whether Rex will succeed or if Tom manages to escape his clutches. Clare made a shock return from the dead last month and as longtime fans will know, she has a long and dark history with Tom. The twisted character tormented Tom as a child and attempted to con his big brother and guardian, Max Cunningham. Viewers will just have to wait and see whether the two characters will finally come face-to-face. Meanwhile, Hollyoaks is gearing up to mark its 30th anniversary this October with a huge month of celebrations. In the clip, Tom is seen in prison alongside fellow inmate Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey), who had received a visit from Ste Hay ( Kieron Richardson ) Viewers will just have to wait and see whether the two characters will finally come face-to-face Show boss Hannah Cheers teased that a signature Hollyoaks stunt is already in the works as she claimed you can't do a Hollyoaks commemoration 'without some kind of spectacle'. She also revealed a huge battle between two Hollyoaks titans will take centre stage for October. Having recently returned from the dead to the village after 12 years, Clare Devine is back, and she's set to clash against serial killer Jez Blake in the run-up to the big anniversary.

Hollyoaks confirms unexpected new nemesis for Sienna Blake
Sienna Blake (Anna Passey) is left upset in upcoming Hollyoaks scenes as one character looks set to drive a wedge between her and Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) with a pretty underhanded move. Marie Fielding (Rita Simons) is delighted when she discovers that she's set to become a grandma, with Cleo's pregnancy being revealed earlier than the mum-to-be intended. As Cleo and Sienna await the NIPT results, Marie begins to somewhat overstep, insisting on a gender reveal party. Sienna is determined to be with Cleo at the scan but she finds herself overwhelmed at the flower stall and thus asks Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) for help – but it proves fruitless. At the hospital, Marie finds Cleo alone and offers to stay. With Cleo at the bathroom, Marie takes it upon herself to put in an anonymous order at the flower stall in a bid to stop Sienna from making it to the appointment on time. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Later in the week, Cleo is keen to speak to Sienna herself and tells Marie to give her and her girlfriend some space, reiterating that she's really overstepping the mark as a grandma-to-be. Marie doesn't take this too kindly, with Cleo subsequently apologising for pushing her out but tensions soon rise when Sienna puts two and two together, convinced that Marie placed the order at the stall in a bid to stop her from going to the hospital. Marie feins shock and denies such a thing. Cleo, meanwhile, wonders if Sienna is just jumping to conclusions. More Trending Can Sienna convince her otherwise? And will Marie back off? If there's one thing you simply don't want to do, it's make an enemy of Sienna! The week in question will prove eventful for Sienna, that's for sure, as in addition to the drama with Marie, she is also tasked with throwing Jez(Jeremy Sheffield) and John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) a pre-wedding celebration at Casa McQueen.

Hollyoaks confirms Clare Devine's bone-chilling plan - and it's her worst yet
Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) stoops to a whole new low in Hollyoaks next week as she attempts to traffic both Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) and Jacob Omari (Ethaniel Davy). The Channel 4 soap supervillain is no stranger to going to the extreme, with recent scenes seeing her fake cancer as a way to get daughter Tori (Harriet O'Shea) back in her life. Even her own sister Grace Black (Tamara Wall) found herself on the receiving end of Clare's wrath, with the returnee attempting to have her sibling murdered. And Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe), who was instrumental in her supposed death over a decade ago, is next in line for Clare as she is harbouring the former pub landlady's fugitive son Bobby. Clare made it quite clear that she intended to make Merce pay for what she did, biding her time by keeping Bobby away from prying eyes while the police conducted a manhunt in search of him. Next week, her sinister plot comes to light as the show's resident schemer goes on the run as she prepares to traffic Bobby – and Jacob, who was previously targeted by Rex Gallagher (Jonny Labey) as part of the child exploitation operation being run by Clare's dead husband DI Banks (Drew Cain). To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video With the police closing in, Clare successfully throws them off the scent, sending them instead on a wild goose chase. Afterwards, she takes the boys to a service station, where a sinister handover is set to take place. Jacob informs Bobby of what Clare has planned for them and thus they put in motion a plan to run away from the service station. The two plead with Clare to let them go. Clare, however, has planned for them to be collected, with a car subsequently pulling up outside. Pictures confirm Bobby's attempt to hightail it out of danger, pushing over a table as a method of distraction, but will he get away? And will Jacob, for that matter? More Trending Mercedes subsequently receives a phone call from a frantic Bobby, but will he be able to tell her where he is? And can Mercy locate him before Clare enacts her plot?
