I keep hearing really good things about this show. It's a French show that just started airing here on Sundance. There's been one season of eight episodes so far and it got a ton of acclaim

Has anyone here seen it? I may watch the first episode tonight | |

Just watched the first episode. GOOD SHIT. It felt a lot like a movie at times. It's definitely not a zombie show by any means really
I'll continue it for sure | |

French with English subtitles. Not all that distracting though | |

I'm picking this back up and making Cart join
I only ended up watching the first two episodes back when I started. I liked them a lot but kinda just forgot to continue. Probably because I had to stream it on my laptop and I hate keeping up with shows that way
It's on Netflix now though. Way more convenient. I decided to rewatch the first two episodes just to reintroduce myself to it. Watched the first one again just now
|
One thing that I find intriguing is that the deceased don't seem to notice that others have aged around them? I don't think Camille was really reacting to Lena being much older now, and the old man's wife didn't react at all that he was old as fuck now. I don't quite understand that but it's interesting to me |

Episode two
|
I'm definitely glad I rewatched these two. I seemed to had forgotten a lot of the details from this one
Cart I never even considered that the nurse (Julie?) had returned as well. I figured she was the victim from years ago but survived like this waitress did. That's a really cool thot though. I hope that's the case
This episode introduced some of the really cool concepts you can do with this show. The serial killer coming back years later and continuing his spree. Simon being listed as dead and the new fiance not knowing wtf the deal is with that. Lena not being recognized by someone who used to be her age. ETC ETC
I wonder why Lean tore up her sister's room
I wonder why that wolf came back alive
I wonder why the water level keeps dropping
And I'm curious to see how the serial killer/Simon/Victor died. There's quite a few things I'm excited to get answers for already
The atmosphere definitely changed but that's because this one took place during the day. First episode was all in one night, this was the next morning. Only makes sense I suppose. The great music definitely helps keep that vibe though |
New episodes from here on :yay: | |

Oh wait
|
Julie could be the case that Pierre keeps talking about. He keeps saying that this has happened to someone before. It could definitely be her |

Fucking HATED the neighbor lady. That was a cool moment. I wonder why Victor is so drawn to Julie and how he died. Could he be her son? Was she pregnant when she was stabbed and that's how he died?? That'd be tragic. Makes no sense though because he's way older. There's clearly some piece missing there
The fiance must be confused as SHIT! First he's confused that Simon is still alive, then he sees Simon and Adele making out in his backyard. He must assume Simon has been alive this entire time and they're having some sort of bizarre affair. What a weird situation. It's those situations that make the show really
And yeah the actress who plays Lena is "good" ;)))))). Srsly though she's so hot |

Some really cool revelations in this one
Victor's death was so sad. Made me like him quite a bit more this episode. I really don't get his story. That was about...30 years ago I think? I don't know why he appeared when Camille died. Has he just been wandering?
One of the sweet revelations was finding out the neighbor killed herself. So can Victor force people to do that? He has some POWERS or something? Who the hell knows
I really felt like the 'nice' murderer seemed like a young Piere. That repeated line towards the end was so great though. The way the music built as he said it, great stuff. The timing was cool too because we just learned that Victor made the neighbor kill herself, so I really felt like he was gonna do something to Piere all of a sudden. They also set Piere up to be kwuite the dick earlier when he played Jerome and Clair against each other
The thing on Lena's back is disgusting. Camille needs to CHILL with this Frederic fella! JUST STAY AT HOME CAMILLE, IT'S BEEN LIKE TWO DAYS! And now Lena's in trouble with the serial killer o men o men
There was also the revelation that Simon...killed himself? Or was murdered? Probably killed himself
Each of these character twists really keeps me interested for the next episode |
