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.

I've just read the Guardian articles for each episode and I don't know if I'm more confused about some things than I was before!

I could do with extra subtitles pointing things out and telling me what is going on.

It wasn't his real dad though was it? Victor randomly showed up at the Lewanski's house after trying to warn the architect about the dam.

My theory is that Victor is an angel. He can see the future and bring people back but he just wants to be a normal little boy which is why he loves Julie so much. She's his 'mum'.

I could live without a third series I think most of the questions are resolved. The only mystery is who Lucie is/what she's trying to achieve and I assume she left the baby on the doorstep because of what Victor told her.
Maybe he lied so that the baby can have a real life like he never did.
As Nathan is only hold returned maybe he'll get to grow up and be 'normal'.

I cried at the end. I want to adopt Victor.

One thing that struck me is the unbelievable young/old casting. Camille and Lena are so similar looking but also the actor who played young Pierre looked uncannily like him.
