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.

Just marking my place.

I bloody love this show - I must have watched series 1 at least 5 times. I find it so different from everything else and actually totally different from anything I usually watch. Can't wait for series 2 to start

Just finished watching season 1 - can't wait for season 2 to start in a couple of weeks! There's a short trailer on 4od for it

I'm more than a bit obsessed with this. Also can't wait for the soundtrack. I need to hear it now!

Must set the planner!

Just to go off topic ever so slightly, I cant recommend the season 1 soundtrack enough, I bought it after season 1 was finished, it's chilling (in a good way) and absolutely beautiful.

That said, my ipod once started playing the theme tune randomly on its own at 3am. Scared the shit out of me!

That, and everything else Mogwai have done. Incredible.

Tonight tonight tonight tonight tonight!! 9pm on More4!

Ooooh thanks. Will set it for series link.

Thanks for that, I didn't know it was on tonight til I read this. I am so impatient!

Only another 15 minutes to go. :o

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee

But I can't watch it til Monday. Argh.

Can someone tell me, have I missed a season, the last one I saw they were all standing in a hut and it was shaking.

Gosh I'm so baffled already. I recall the Adele/curly haired thing, hence bump, but I'm stumped after that. Last memory is all the 'alives' gathering in the school/place on the hill and all the returned coming up like zombies in the dark and taking some with them.
I need someone with better recall to do a series one synopsis, pretty please?

Me too Alabaster. Am completement perdu.

At the end of the last series everyone was assembled at the helping hand. The horde (including Lucy, Simon and Serge) came to claim the rest of the returned. So Camille went with her mum, Victor with Julie and Mrs Costa. Julie said there was one more to go with them, Adele because she is pregnant with Simon's child. They all went back in to the helping hand and there was lots of loud noises like they were under stack. The police all stayed outside (including Adele's fiancé and Julie's girlfriend). When they came out in the morning the police weren't to be seen and they looked at the old town that was flooded 30 years ago emerging.

It seems like it is happening again. Toni shot himself in the last episode and he has returned. And another girl from the coach that was Camille was on. But she seems older.

What about the family that were driving through the tunnel to leave the village and kept being back in the village and then trying to get out through the tunnel again?

I think the new town is now flooded and everyone has been evacuated. The ones that remain are in the old town that was originally submerged. People can only get out by helicopter as none of the roads are leading anywhere.

I think I might need to watch s1 again. I ain't got a clue what's going on.

Lily, that was Julie with victor and her police girlfriend. They stopped on the road on the reservoir overnight and then they saw Toni about to jump off the bridge. Then the horde came for Victor so they ran away back to the helping hand. But not before Toni shot himself in the stomach after Victor gave him the police woman's gun.

What happened to the stag, any theories?

So where is Camille and her mum now? In a different town where the horde roam?

And why are the horde so scary when other dead ones like Camille aren't?

Is the town cut off in the middle somehow by the flood and camille and Co are on one side with the bad dead and then the other side is the living?

Well Camille, Simon, Lucy, Mrs Costa and Serge have chosen not to go with the horde somehow. I find it hard to believe that Julie would stay somewhere with the guy that tried to kill her and eat her liver!
