Seeing episode 5 from the first series again this last week made me wish we'd seen a few more flashback of Rene and Sarah from happier times. It would have made the loss all the more real if we'd actually seem more of what she'd lost, and the life she used to have.
I've no idea of course, of how much of the saga had been written before the first series was shown.

There was only a second series due to the huge unexpected public interest generated, by the first series. So they may be "making it up as they go along."

Yeah I suppose, it can't be easy to make any long term plans when you don't know how much time you've got to work with.

Even a few flashbacks in series 2 or even 3 side by side with the Rene he'd become would have helped flesh it all out and made their new reality all the more heart-breaking. Something in those two episodes where she comes to find him in Paris, especially before she's about to leave him. Maybe she remembers the past and reflects on it, realises that Rene is gone and then just as she's leaving he calls out to her and she stays hoping that she can find the person he was within him again.
