The Returned on SBS2 this week.

[buzzlightyearsgirlfriend]

Now this series sounds like one to watch:

"This eerie eight-part French thriller tackles the popular theme of the undead, but from an entirely rewired angle. In a small rural French community, the dead are returning from their graves. Those being resurrected are seemingly random, having died in different years and different circumstances. Men, women and children - each episode introduces a different returnee, and as the series progresses, their stories begin to intertwine - are returning home, confused, unscathed (there's no rotting flesh and they haven't aged), and unaware, at first, that they are dead. And unlike your standard-issue zombie, they're not out to kill or eat anyone. (Although they do seem to be always hungry). The Returned deals with the aftermath of these resurrections. How does life continue now for those they left behind? The ''new'' lives their loved ones have created for themselves - or in some cases, destroyed - are upended, their very understanding of life and death called into question."

Got all excited.  Thought it might be series 2. But no.    : - (

I saw it on studio as well.  Good show

edit:  be prepared for sub-titles

[icyfroth]

I'd probably watch it. OH probably wouldn't 😞

[icyfroth]

I actually love subtitles. Saves me having to ask OH all the time what did they say, lol.

If anyone ever gets a chance watch - Let the right one in - Swedish vampire movie, very, very good.

Duh. I did read the OP. I was just wondering whether SBS showing The Returned, which going by the replies here is fairly old, and the fact that WD starts again tonight (US time), which also plays on SBS was a coincidence.

Can't wait for the next series of Walking Dead!

I saw a Foxtel preview for it. WOW! But   Judith

I must be "duh" cause when i first watched The Returned i kind of expected it to be like WD. I hadn't read anything, just saw a short ad.
