New to It:Love It..but what is the point, where is it going

I'm watching the french version although I understand there is an American version.
The acting is superb..on point from the entire ensemble.
Simon is hot the child actor who plays Victor is fantastic...
The woven storylines are compelling...BUT as I watch I keep wondering what's the point..Where's it going?
Granted I'm only 5 series in...but I keep wondering is there a reason..Is this a reverse of The Leftover
In film you get some relief beginning middle and an end. The Returned (Resurrection) is it biblical or science fiction something with the water...
Is it just this town..?



what Jordie?
