So who do you think is/are the murderer(s)?

@Lin

That is a fascinating question.

If I accurately identified them in the teaser and trailer, I believe Gel and Ken will uncover a boat in the remaining episodes, but they will most likely be unable to access it. Ken will kill someone (perhaps Bozo, as seen by the terrible moment with the guts) and somehow die in Plato's arms in the water. Gel will chase Mind. Sonar will get into a fight with Bew and Bozo. Bew will strike her, but she will not be killed.

Something came to my mind just now. Have you ever thought about how Lilly was the last person to see Mac alive? It's unknown what else they talked about when Mac grabbed Lilly and how he was able to let her go (as she claimed) on her own! I'm getting more suspicious of her. It's a little strange if we assume that someone other than Lilly trekked through the jungle in the middle of the night, found Mac, killed him, and returned so that they could all be together in the morning like they were last night around the fire. On the other hand, despite the fact that Mac was brutally murdered, Lilly's clothes were dry and pristine. Keeping your clothes clean while murdering someone is possible but difficult.

I hope Zee can make it to the last episode and survive as well.

@Lin

I agree that neither Gel nor Fone will make it through the next two or three episodes.

Indeed, they all have to bear a great deal before they can survive. Who will get out of this hell is now the more pressing question.

I'd be interested to hear if you come up with any new ideas after watching the following episodes.

 cypheraly:

So I personally think that Lyla is either a ghost or just their own guilt manifesting in a corporeal form they're seeing in their fear/upset. It's been 5 years but she's still wearing a pristine uniform from their school? I guess someone could have brought her a new one, but since it's known that she's dead I kind of doubt she could have gotten one herself. 

As far as who the killer could be I think it's a little bit of everyone. We know that Bew killed Dan - and maybe Lilly killed Mac but someone else decapitated him. Maybe someone in the group had killed Lyla and it's just one of those things where in the end they all just end up destroying one another without there being one killer. I could be very very off but it was just a theory I was running with.

Exactly, we´ve been discussing this as well at the beginning of this thread. Because at this point, does it really matter who started this anymore? It has already escalated and the fire of hatred is soon going to reach the roots of their dark "friendship".  It will only be a matter of time until there will be no one left to be "friends" with. Even already, the viewer can see the primal instincts kick in and the will to survive. The most dangerous thing that can happen. 

I am quite fond of this series because I can very strongly see the parallels and closeness to our society. Everything seems so stale and forgiven on the surface, but what would happen if someone dragged you or me to an island where there were people who betrayed, bullied, hurt, etc. you (/me) and then there is one person intentionally starting this fire of redemption... Honestly speaking, I don't think the series/story is as remote as it first appears.

For the whole week that I've been waiting, I had the feeling that they were "somehow" waiting for us on the island to discover the truth. My brain has longed for the knowledge of how the chaos will proceed. Especially after all of our discussed theories and considerations. I must sound crazy to you but the series is so much more intense when you're not in control and waiting for the answer. 

 perfect:

Someone mentioned Agatha Christie in the comments and my brain is turning into mush since there's a book I read by her where someone who died faked their death while they were alive the whole time and I did not see it coming. Although Lilly seems way too obvious. But then I remembered there was another book by her where the most obvious people were actually the killers. 

I'm just going to stick with my initial theory for now and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The only thing that confuses me right now is the motive of the killer because I can't tell who would want to defend Lyla to the point of killing people aside from her sister (somewhat) so far. Which is why I think the motive might have to do with more than Lyla's death or not be related to her at all. We can only theorize further from seeing more backstories I think... 

Yup, I totally agree with you. The only thing we have to do now is to wait. x_x
Because in 1h 15 minutes episode 5 may release BUT we don´t know when the subtitles will be ready.

Uhm I don´t know. Probably 4 - 12 hours? I am currently rewatching the episodes-
I will probably buy the next episodes on Vimeo to show some gratitude and support.
I am way too captivated by this ... ~ even send the producer a message. He won´t respond tho but I´m okay with that. If he has a bad day in the future, maybe this could help to cheer him up. <3

He probably got it. :D
No worries. Let´s hope this series will continue being this captivating and well made.

Guys, hear me out, I think the boatman died from a sickness. I can´t imagine someone of the isle had killed him nor that there is an ally on the mainland. Maybe he had sickness like Mind and they planned this together? Therefore there might be a connection between Lyla/ Mind/ Lilly/ Sonar and that man, otherwise, why would he spend his time helping someone to get their revenge? That thought came to me after rewatching the first episode because he seemed sick. The series obviously had some side thoughts to show this scene where he was coughing. It´s something that is easily forgotten if you watch it the first time, probably even purposely. Still, later on, they may use these 2 seconds to fill one of the plotholes.

Another thought: Maybe he purposely sunk with the ship, so that the mainland thinks all of them are dead? That thought just came by randomly. I doubt it but well, who knows?

so bew assaulted sonar. more and more unraveling of this "friend" group as we go on. bew has definitely lost his mind, but so has fone and probably bozo though bozo less than the other two. and i've got no further ideas of what's going on except now bew has seen lyla whether or not he admits it.

BUT THE TEASER FOR NEXT EPISODE !?!?!?!? mind was actually the one to leak the clip??? i would have bet anything that it had been mac but wow
