Series 2 about to start in France, but all I can find about it being shown here is that it will be in the autumn. Does anyone know any more?

Meanwhile, series 1 is 4OD, it's obviously my duty to watch it to remind myself of the background.

Shiiiiiiit.
I didn't know this was back on AngrySad.
Anyone know if I can watch the first five episodes of season 2 anywhere?

GlitteryFluff · 19/11/2015 08:37

I've found them all on 4on demand except episode 1 (and only have 3 days to watch episode 2 before it goes). Where can I watch episode 1? Sobs

GlitteryFluff · 19/11/2015 08:43

Ignore me. I thought this was Ressurection (in that programme they have people called the returned) I'm an idiot.
leaves quietly and hopes nobody noticed me

Glittery. Try it. It's fab

Sad at Audrey's Mom. I know we are meant to think she is heartless, but I think it is normal to think the dead is not coming back and be really scared and confused.

custard Julie spent a large part of season 1 trying to work out if she is dead or not. But she evidently isn't.

We all think Victor was the first revenant living with his Dad, but now we know that Lucy died a long time ago too and she openly lived in the village in series 1 (shagging people and getting visions). How did people not recognise her, or realise that she has not aged? She also had no skin problems either.

Does Serge have a thing for Lena, or has he just mended his ways?

I thought Simon was killed in a car accident before the wedding?

VodkaJelly · 19/11/2015 20:15

I thought simon hung himself on the morning of the wedding

gingercat12 · 19/11/2015 20:49

Atticus The priest did not have the heart to tell the pregnant Adele at more or less the altar that Simon killed himself and said it was a car accident.

Rollergirl1 · 20/11/2015 20:45

There are quite a few inconsistencies/things that don't add up.

Yes Lucy was obviously already returned in series one but then she was attacked by Serge and she made a miraculous recovery in hospital. She was working at Le Lake Pub with Toni so why didn't he recognise her from years before and why didn't Serge recognise her from being down in their cellar years before?

Also Simon was shot dead again in series one after he was returned and seemed to die but then just came back to life straight away.

I thought that Mrs Costa said in series one that she starved to death after the first flood due to there being no food but obviously not.

It seems that the difference between Camille etc and the other zombie like returnees is that they still have people waiting/wanting them to return. So why is Virgil still like he is even though his parents killed themselves but Estaben has now gone like the others? Why didn't Serge and Toni come back like the others either? Who did they have waiting for them?

custardcreamdreams · 20/11/2015 23:26

Camille pulled Mrs Costa on that one in series 1 when she was at the helping hand that she had given totally different versions of events of her death to different people.

I wondered the same about Virgil. Serge and Toni have always had one or the other waiting for each other have they not? In the first series Serge comes back and Toni is already there. When Toni dies, Serge is 'alive' and with his mother.

In the comment section people wondered if zombification is self-induced. That Estefan lost all hope and love, could not bear the pain and loneliness any longer hence the tears and he decided to switch it all off and turn a zombie as a conscious decision.

gingercat12 · 21/11/2015 11:37

Sorry I meant in the comment section on The Guardian website.

winewolfhowls · 21/11/2015 13:06

I don't like Chloe I think she is a creepy child

Shirkingfromhome · 22/11/2015 06:43

I've just caught up. I have absolutely no idea what's going on but I luffs it!

Where the hell is Victor / Louis from? And why wasn't Berg remotely phased by knowing dead people are wandering around?

It's going to end with more questions than answers again isn't it?

TheOrchardKeeper · 22/11/2015 11:57

Only just caught up. It's hard to watch the Audrey bits as a parent.

It seems like history is repeating itself. Pierre is the new Milan.

winewolfhowls · 22/11/2015 14:11

I think Victor is old like centuries old and goes and comes back at intervals.

Moln · 22/11/2015 22:34

Yes was going to say Victor must go way back.

The whole skin thing is weird - us it something that happens to the dead ones when they are around Pierre?

Shirkingfromhome · 22/11/2015 23:18

Ooo Moln that's interesting, I think you're on to something.

Rollergirl1 · 23/11/2015 07:06

There are so many things to think about and I'm getting way too confused!

How could Julie have been pregnant without knowing back when she was attacked? Given that she was in a relationship with Laure at the time? Did she have a fling with a man? Or are they hinting at immaculate conception or something?

Why does Camille think that her Mum attacked herself when they tried to leave? Camille said something like she found her hitting herself and she had to take her back to the house. So was Camille's mum hallucinating the zombies surrounding her and was the man that saved her actually Camille?

So we now know that Victor/Louis isn't a son of the Lewinski's and they took him in much like Julie did. Why did Mr Lewinski have a heart attack when Julie mentioned his wife and Paul to him? I thought it seemed like he was scared of them in some way.

Rollergirl1 · 23/11/2015 07:11

Moln: very interesting theory ref the skin issue. Didn't Toni have something going on on his neck and once he escaped from The Healing Hand it seemed to be healing?

Pierre has definitely stepped in to Milan's shoes. But that is weird as in series one he thinks that they are miracles and wants to help them doesn't he?

Moln · 23/11/2015 08:24

Had Julie mentioned Victir by name, I don't think she had, so it was only when Mr Lewinski realised who she was talking about (when she said other son Paul) that he had a heart attack, so it was Louis that caused the heart attack rather than Paul and wife.

With the skin thing I was just trying to figure out if it only occurred when Pierre was about, even in series 1. Was it just the two girls? The not dead twin I think was supposed to be a twin thing.

Shirkingfromhome · 27/11/2015 23:22

Right, I literally have no idea what's going on now. The more I watch, the less I understand Grin

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 27/11/2015 23:39

Another one here who thinks Victor is very old indeed. And Milan.

Well spotted about the skin decay around Pierre.

Lucys not so confident recently, is she.

ThisIsStartingToBoreMe · 27/11/2015 23:41

And was that Julie is a 20's style swimsuit on the beach with another boy about Victors age?

Shirkingfromhome · 28/11/2015 10:07

Yes it was; was it intentionally meant to look like the past (i.e. has she be reincarnated) or is she actually dead and has gone from place to place on her own? (The nurse who helped her said you'll always be on your own if you don't accept help?).

Did Milan kidnap all the children and then convince the parents they were dead so they killed themselves to be join them? So Pierre is fighting against the children returning because he doesn't believe it's them (he didn't kill himself after he shot Milan)?
