Hell's Oven: The Latest Developments

Two years down, one more to go and then... Freedom. Uhuh. Not so soon. Maybe not from the responsibilities of an adult life but surely from rotting carcasses of rats on the roads and adulterated food. It's going to be another tough year of decision making and trying my best not to starve myself to the bone. Will I ever find out what my obscure goal is, in this lifetime or will I just keep dragging myself from one day to the next without feeling a thing for my surroundings or empathizing with my fellow companions? 

I haven't found romantic love, that's for sure. The only progress I've made so far, is on obtaining a degree in a subject which teaches me how to manipulate living beings within restrictions and make further advancements in the field of Science. My passion for this twisted line of work is the only factor keeping me from falling headfirst into a pool of depression and who knows what other kind of diabolical stuff waiting for me just round the corner. The past two years have transformed me into an adult who is unable to react appropriately in social situations or even display genuine emotion for that matter. I've become a psychopathic freak and I can't help but feel proud of this recent development. I feel just like a rebellious lab rat that is expected to behave in a certain manner in simulated environment, but chooses not to. I'd better learn to live by acceptable social norms or shall risk getting poisoned by the scientist who's tolerated my antics long enough.

Set in a mountain town, the first season of this french TV serial consists of eight episodes with a haunting soundtrack provided by the Scottish band, Mogwai.

A young girl who had died in a bus accident four years earlier, returns to her family due to unresolved issues between her and her sister. Meanwhile, several others presumed to be dead, return to their loved ones. For instance, a young man in his teens reconciles with the woman whom he was to marry, a cannibalistic serial killer goes back to his brother and a mysterious boy visits a childless woman who had once been the victim of the serial killer. Although the reappearance of the dead does not cause much chaos initially, the townspeople begin to panic when confronted with hordes of them one night. The living and dead begin to develop strange scars on their bodies, the water level of the dam lowers, carcasses of wild animals are found in the sea, power failures occur more frequently as compared to before and people who try to leave town are unable to do so.
