Just Started Watching It On Netflix But...

I'm not so sure I will be able to watch all the episodes seeing how weak the first episode has been. The reaction by them when the daughter returns is idiotic. They are going with quite shock but the actors are not doing a very good job of pulling it off. I'm sorry but your dead daughter reappears and I get it that at first mom probably thinks she is seeing things but not a chance in Hell she would have let her out of her sight. All of them are way too calm about the situation and right now I'm at the part where the woman finds the kid and it's even worse. Hi strange kid come in and eat something and I will not call any authorities until tomorrow because as a grown adult it's better to treat a possible missing child the same way you might treat a stray dog. This is terrible storytelling. I'll finish the first episode but if this is the best they can do I'll probably skip the rest.

Just got to the part where the sister finds out that Camille is alive. Is it just me or would you expect her to have been told rather than find out the hard way. The show put little to no thought into the reaction people would have to such an event.

Exactly why TV suffers from lack of viewers today. No reason to even watch something until you are sure that it will be given a chance to wrap up and all networks as well as online streaming services need to start realizing this. Your ratings suffer from the fact that in today's market a lot of shows are found well after they premier and a lot of people would prefer to wait until a couple of seasons are available before getting invested in something where you might be left hanging. Shows like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones are the exceptional products that are so good the audience eats up every episode as soon as it premiers.

I gave up on this about halfway through the first episode. Too many scenes of people staring at each other with blank expressions and no conversation. Say something, for God's sake! Ask questions! Advance the story! Stop just staring! Think I'll check out the French version.
