Vigil : Should you watch season 2 of the series with Suranne Jones and Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) broadcast from this Thursday, January 9, 2025 on Arte? Our opinion
The first season was remarkable for the precision of its writing, the tension which increased without the viewer feeling the trap closing on them, its unique atmosphere, the quality of its performers, the staging which was both demanding and captivating. …among others!
