The Returned

[InimitableJeeves]

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.

Maybe you have to be in either the original circle or related to them to return?

Pierre is fighting his guilt that he was involved in the circle deaths but then cheated the dead by not going through with it himself?

The opening scene explained a lot about Pierre and his involvement.

Etienne is dishy engineer's father?

Still watching on catch up.

Victor!

Final episode next week.

Hopefully it will make some sense ;)

The actor who plays Victor/Louis is so amazing - what perfect casting. I would love him to be Julie's son. I just want them all to live in peace happily together. Are all the soldier types dead too or was it Victor playing tricks? Each time I think I've worked it out it changes....I'm going to miss my creepy French fix each week!

Last one next week ? I hope they don't leave as long a gap for season 3.

CrumblyMumbly I Agree! He's very well casted and good at being an ambigious character.

Is it really the last one next week?

So many exquisitely beautiful people; Julie, Victor, Lena with her amazing hair... it makes me feel like I'm a different species.

Would quite fancy a night out with Mme Costa though, she could be fun in a dry, Gallic way.

What, last one next week!

Usual with that one, I went 'Oooh I see' and then back to 'hu? What'

So who is the main instigator of the freaky stuff? Milan was the leader of the 'cult', but when he was talking to Victor/Louis and asked him how he did it (or something along those lines) Victor said 'it's not me' . . . . so who is it???

Victor causes it, but not on purpose I think. Not sure f he's aware of the past to well - Étienne said he didn't have any memories.

But didn't Lucy, Morgane and Virgil to name a few remember what happened to them? Camille remembered where she lived and that she had a crush on Frederic. Simon remembered he loved Adele etc. So confusing.

On a much shallower note, has anyone else said that they think Berg is rather attractive?

Yes they did. Which does make it confusing!!!

Étienne was mind controlled (so to speak) like the police man who saw the faces on people, and killed others.

Maybe they don't have memories

In confused about Berg - I saw him Witnesses and can't shake off his other character.

recap 7

So bergs father was shot 25yrs ago after the damn flooded the town / in the circle by Milan /Pierre who then didn't shoot hisself as part of the bargain

Oh Victor and Julie, you're breaking my heart here...

Aaargh! What happened to Adele and Simon? Why did she change into evening wear?? Where did Victor come from in the first place?

So did Victor bring them all back by trying to bring his Dad back? And is he Julie's baby? And Nathan will be like him and it will all happen again?

I've loved this series but I'm still baffled as to what just happened.

Who was slimy cave man?

Where did Adele's frock materialise from?

I thought Julie jumped to her death into the sink hole??

Adele was wearing her wedding dress. I still need to watch it again to tie up the loose ends but it was perfect. Absolutely beautiful.

Yes Adele was wearing her wedding dress.

Julie did jump but Victor was able to save her because "she believed him".

Nathan being left on the doorstep of a family will be how it was for Victor. Going between family to family.

I finally felt some compassion for Pierre at the end. It was so sad! So much loss.

But Victor doesn't age ... so he must have lived from birth to his age now, then died and returned before he turned up chez Lewanski?

Any theories as to where the horde was headed? And why was Nathan left after being an integral part of the plan?
