This was on last night at 9.00, a six parter. A woman collects a photo album of her holidays and out falls an old photo of her husband with three others. He denies it. He takes the children to a concert, checks into a hotel with them then vanishes. That is the opening premise of this French series based on the book by Harlan Coben. I have read this book and cannot remember any of what has happened so far! Still it got off to a good start with considerably more élan than The Passenger which follows.

Agreed - this is better than The Passenger and definitely worth continuing with.
(In common with the other Harlan Coben running at the moment - Netflix's The Stranger - it seems to feature a lad with a photographic memory for car number plates.)

I'm continuing to enjoy it, after having recovered from my frequent problem of recollecting who was who from last week. I hadn't appreciated that Eva has no memory of a chunk of her life, around the time of an incident in the catacombs 15 years earlier (it was referred to last week, but I didn't take it in).

Well on the whole I found that rather disappointing and very difficult to follow. If I were Eva I dont know as I would want Bastien back. And apparently despite Eva telling Sandrine that Bastien too would do time, neither he (now presumably Laurent) nor Eva will face any charges. I think they deserve some time in the slammer for smugness alone!

I too found it difficult to follow. It was pretty contrived, and the series as a whole seemed to rely quite heavily on Eva's convenient 15-year memory loss concerning events in the catacombs. I don't know whether that's a Harlan Coben thing - there was one of his on Sky a few years ago called 'The Five', which relied on a character who disappeared as a young boy not remembering details of his childhood, and his contemporaries not realising who he was as an adult. (I did quite enjoy that one. As soon as it finished Sky announced they'd commissioned a successor, but that seems to have sunk without trace.)
