Les Revenants

In an idyllic French Alpine village, a seemingly random collection of people find themselves in a state of confusion as they attempt to return to their homes. What they do not yet know is that they have been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back. Buried secrets emerge as they grapple with this miraculous and sinister new reality, struggling to reintegrate with their families and past lovers. But it seems they are not the only ones back from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of gruesome murders that bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past... Stars Anne Consigny, Frederic Pierrot, Clotilde Hesme.







I have started watching season 2 of Les Revenants aka The Returned. I watched season 1 many years ago on Channel 4. I may have started season 2 back then but did not finished. Had to see how it pans out. Essentially it is a French horror drama. Set in a small village. The deceased residents have returned. They don't realise that they are dead. Want to carry on with life as normal. Some found it hard to adapt. There are a variety of characters. There was some sex and nudity. It was a good show. A few main protagonists. A young boy that is quiet and creepy. There was a serial killer on the loose. A major confrontation between the residents. You might also like La Horde, District 9, Big Bug, L'Haine, Taxi.
