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.

Everyone in the church died in 1st flood. Could bergs dad be one of them?

RattusRattus · 11/11/2015 18:47

Pierre killed Milan because he killed Victor / Louis and his brother, didn't he?

GhoulWithADragonTattoo · 11/11/2015 19:00

I think your right so even a gang member like Pierre thought Milan was going too far. Good idea that Pierre is taking on Milan's role now.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/11/2015 21:24

true tho the other bloke shot them ,milan wasnt there, but was on his orders

Clawdy · 13/11/2015 21:28

Anyone know why it is on an hour later tonight? Really annoying.

Moln · 13/11/2015 21:49

Ah!! Good job it is, I'd forgotten!!!

winewolfhowls · 13/11/2015 22:08

Aha! Victor does draw the future!

tilliebob · 13/11/2015 22:09

Gawd, why are they pissing about with the scheduling? My DD drives me nuts asking questions - I told her to write them in French for me basically to shut the hell up and she's doing it Shock

tilliebob · 13/11/2015 23:21

Argh, Milan at the end! Bugger!! ConfusedShock

winewolfhowls · 13/11/2015 23:44

As soon as I saw those girls I knew serge? Had killed them.

Poor esteban

custardcreamdreams · 14/11/2015 00:09

Me too winewolf

What does it mean that Julie was on the missing poster? Do you reckon she has escaped something and disappeared herself before she got together with the police officer Laure? After all she was pregnant at that time she was with Laure and then attacked in the tunnel. I don't think she's dead but is it implying that?

winewolfhowls · 14/11/2015 14:31

I thought it was implying that but might be a red herring?

I want to know why kamiles boyfriend whose name I have forgotten, is still alert and not unresponsive like the other ones.

tilliebob · 14/11/2015 16:38

I don't see how Julie could be dead as Mrs Costa etc where telling her that now Victor/Louis' mum was returned, she didn't belong there?

Mind you I'm second guessing everyone and can't decide if anyone is alive any more.

Was Pierre always a wassock or is he getting more and more unhinged?

winewolfhowls · 14/11/2015 19:28

I love the word wassock. I think pierre is the truly evil one in it all, I think he used the religious/cultish circle stuff as a way to manipulate and control everyone in the town.

Moln · 14/11/2015 22:19

Aaaaaah!!!

I watch an episode and start to think I'm getting it and the I'm back to being confused again!!!

MagzFarquarson · 15/11/2015 12:52

Does anyone remember from the first series the bit where Camille's skin started deteriorating and Lena was putting make up on to cover some messy stuff up? Why do they not have to do that any more?

Love the bleak, creepy, atmosphere of the series.

Very complicated, but addictive - exactly what Moln just said, it's like you almost grasp what's going on, then it slips away and a new curve ball is thrown in.

Berg's dad - the architect (sorry, Structural Engineer Grin ) of the dam is the creepy smiley guy who gave Lena's mum the bandages, isn't he?

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/11/2015 15:22

So we know bergs dad is dead but not how or why

I think Julie is alive as isn't always hungry and she wasn't called back at end of s1 when they wanted al the returned

Wow at mrs Costa death - tho she was wearing silly high heels in snow for dog walking

Milan will return ....... Maybe needs to be chopped into pieces .......

recap here for episode 5

rosy71 · 16/11/2015 22:22

I think the pictures of the missing were those who disappeared at the end of the last series. Julie went off with Victor so would have been seen as having disappeared by the rest of the living people. Laure was also on he poster & she disappeared a the same time with the other police officers.

ScrambledSmegs · 16/11/2015 22:28

Magz I thought that was something to do with the nature of their relationship as twins, but they do seem to have abandoned that aspect of the story.

Poor Mme Costa. I do like her relationship with Victor though, they work well together those two. Also, I think she's pointed out that while people will think that he's making the events in his drawings happen, he's actually just drawing the future/his dreams. Which is why he wants to try and stop the vision that he had about Julie happening. I think...

I still believe the kid's not human. He's linked to the lake somehow. Probably told Berg's dad not to build it or some such creepy talk, then the dam burst and everyone went "Ooh, he said it would happen, he made it happen, aargh demon child". We'll probably never find out what or who he is properly though, because this show is French and they don't do neat endings - which I rather like.

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/11/2015 00:36

I think victor has visions which then scares people

  • tho seems he can change them if wants to

The whole town saw Julie go with victor including police but not sure why would be on missing list

Wonder who the one missing policemen or woman is

Did mr Costa feel his wife's death was his fault as he hasn't walked the dog?

Think only Simons death hasn't been explained now /yet

RattusRattus · 17/11/2015 12:27

Hmmm...

OK, I think that it is quite interesting how the dead are turning on the dead (i.e. Serge's victims coming back for him). Not sure it means anything but you never know.

I can't work out if Lena is dead or alive.

Pierre is definitely a dangerous nutter.

Mr Lewinksi waking up could be interesting. I think that the theory that he slipped isn't right. I think he fell whilst trying to escape or hide from someone (a dead person? because wasn't there two meals on the table in his house?).

Bring on Friday.

Lenuccia · 18/11/2015 12:44

Blondes I think Simon hung himself on the morning of his wedding to Adele- she was pregnant with Chloe at the time. His parents shot each other in some sort of death pact/cult when he was little, I suppose this affected his mental well being.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/11/2015 16:00

oh that rings a bell, why? did he think adele didnt love him/ was she having an affair? cant rem now, thats the problem being 3yrs ago or so

so victors dad mr L has been in a coma for 6mths and no visitors, so he must have been put in come/fell the day of the last s1 when all returned had to go as s2 is 6mths in the future

Moln · 18/11/2015 16:11

Can't recall anything about Simon hanging himself, though I know we know he did kill himself, though Adele was led to believe he was accidentally killed. We got the idea that he'd tried to kill himself in the past, I think when we saw Adeles story this was put across when she told him she was pregnant. (I say I think mean at that time, I'm pretty certain we found out he had been suicdal before) We then found out his parents both killed themselves in a pact

RabbitDeNiro · 19/11/2015 07:57

I remember Chloe drawing a picture of Simon with a gun to his head so it was in my mind that he shot himself but we didn't find out why; his side of the story was never told I don't think?
