Lena definitely isn't dead I'd say. I think her back wound is supposed to be some sort of physical manifestation of her being confronted by her backstabbing of Camille when she did the dirty with Frederic on the day Camille died.

Yeah that sounds like a pretty French explanation.
Just watched 4 episodes and really Canal + have outdone themselves, I know they are the best in terms of producing french series but this is easily the best I've watched so far. The creepy music alone is top notch, it just seems that the setting is in france with these "diners" and "pubs". The architecture of the town doesn't really look like the usual french, I wonder where exactly they filmed this show.
I have no idea what this is...but I refuse to watch any TV show with such a stupid name.
It's actually called 'Les Revenants'. Don't blame the French for English being a less cool language.
Cheers Scrumpet.
The translation is wrong IMHO, "Les revenants" in this context should have been called " the ghosts" or something like that. Literal translation can give you some weird results.
This kid creeps me for some reason
He creeps the creep out of us all Kouroux.
not sure about the theories in that article, but it does link to this site which has loads of info that I never knew about!http://www.thenationalstudent.com/TV/2013-07-29/The_Returned_8_Unanswered_Questions.html
My take on the Lena thing was she had the scar because of her twin connection to Camille. Never really crossed my mind that she could be dead.
As for the rest.....

worth a read for sure
When's this back on? Any news?
Was the best new series of last year for me by quite some margin.
@Duafc - if you get bored mate then give this a chance.

Mega show, more people should catch this on Netflix.
Yeah it's brilliant. One of the best shows of last year easily! Not enough people have seen it.
Way too long a wait between series here.
Do they think this is watched by elephants?

ye ridiculous wait for the 2nd series - some the younger actors (the scary kid in particular, I forget his name) are sure to have aged significantly by the time they get it sorted
Hadn't even thought of that but yeah, it'll need recasting if they're not careful.

Wow, just watched Series 1 of this on Netflix, can't believe I missed it on Channel 4. Can't believe I haven't heard more talk about it. Great stuff, brilliant characters. Lots of unanswered questions but I can't wait for the next series.
The American remake started this week. I'm not liking it so far, maybe I started off with the bias that I'd hate it, but it's just stupid to remake it. It also seems to be an identical remake (same lines etc) which to me makes it even more pointless.
Sometimes those remakes start off with very similar episodes and then go on a separate way. For the most part I don't really bother with remakes unless I hear they are really good - which most aren't. The Killing, The Bridge, Broadchurch... I settled for the originals only. the US Shameless is very good, though.
Season 2 airs on Canal+ on September 28th! Should air in the US on Sundance TV on Halloween night.

About time.
First season is sublime, but they left so much unanswered, and the finale was quite poor, so I think it'll be difficult for them to make the second season as good.

I think the first few episodes of the season might determine how good it stacks up to the first season. Either way, can't wait! Good to know that Victor still looks the part.
Christ. They took their time with that. Still, better late than never.
Still no word on when Channel 4 are showing it? I'll have to rewatch the first series.
Yeah was thinking the same. I need a refresh.
I already rewatched it
A bit like season one of True Detective in that it's so brilliantly shot and the score is so good that it's really easy to watch again.

16th October for the UK, on More 4 rather than Channel 4 this time.
Watched the first episode of season 2.
It's still brilliant and Viktor is still the creepiest kid ever.

Easy one of my favorite shows. It's brilliant. The only thing missing in Season 2 is more of that creepy sound track they have when weird things are happening. 
Better hurry up with Season 3, though, before Victor is 1.85m.

Yup. Just finished season two and if it wasn't as good as the first season, it was still pretty good. The finale was solid and they pretty much resolved much of the questions to which why the revenants returned.
