Summary:

In the small town of Villefrance the locals do their best to deal with the seemingly constant murders, secrets and strange things that happen in the forest.
The plot develops steadily starting off with small clues and stories passing up to a dramatic reveal towards the end. Many people die, dark secrets are revealed and there is something unnatural lurking in the forest. A very shocking person turns out to be the culprit behind some of the major trouble in town.

Personal opinion:

Season 1
I really liked that each episode had its own little mini story incorporated into it. Laurene has quite a backstory and an unusual connection with the forest. The bad intentions of the mayor and his father and the odd occurrences add extra juicy drama. Overall the storyline is a bit slower paced.

Seasons 2
Deaths continue throughout the second season, but the focus is more on the corruption and gang activity in town as well as the creature in the forest. I like that they shes more pogut on the thing in the woods as it is, to me, the most intriguing part of the show. There is a lot that was still left unexplained. I was happy to see that Laurene's daughter Cora was shown a bit more.
