The Returned (French: Les Revenants) & New The Returned on A&E

[Zobaczcie suki]

We just finished watching the French version (8 episodes) on Netflix last night. Maybe I lead a sheltered life or something, but that had to be one of the weirdest and most entertaining shows I have watched in quite some time. Think Twin Peaks on steroids.

Here's some basics:

The Returned (French: Les Revenants) is a French supernatural drama television series created by Fabrice Gobert, based on the 2004 French film They Came Back (in French titled Les Revenants) directed by Robin Campillo. The series debuted on 26 November 2012 on Canal+ and completed its first season consisting of eight episodes on 17 December. A second season is in production.[1] In 2013, it won an International Emmy for Best Drama Series

In a small French mountain town, many dead people reappear, apparently alive and normal: teenage road crash victim Camille, suicidal bridegroom Simon, a small boy named "Victor" who was murdered by burglars, and Serge, a serial killer. They try to resume their lives as strange phenomena occur; amongst recurring power outages, the water level of the reservoir mysteriously lowers, revealing the presence of dead animals and a church steeple, and strange marks appear on the bodies of the living and the dead.

Apparently, they have adapted this for the US and it is now running on A&E, I haven't seen it yet, but will definitely be checking it out

OK thanks. I did a couple searches in the this forum and couldn't find a thread. Thanks for the heads up on the American version, too bad I already got it on Amazon!
