| The Returned (2012). A French TV series based on the 2004 French film They Came Back. Its classed as a supernatural drama, i wont go into the story because i wouldnt want to ruin it for anyone, but its well worth a watch. Its in French with English subtitles, dont let that put you off. I cant wait for the second series, apparently its due out early next year. | |

| Yes, definitely supernatural. Have you watched any of it yet? Looking forward to reading what you thought of it. | |

| Not yet. But as soon as I do (an unexpected hard part is actually finding it to watch) you can be sure to find my thoughts here.
I did find the movie it was based off to watch. I know that's not the series, but have you seen it or would recommend the movie to check out as well ? | |

| I didn't know there was a movie, if i watched the movie and it covers what happens in the second series (which i haven't seen yet) I'd be so gutted. Probably best if i don't watch the movie, what do you think? | |

| Sorry, the movie I'm talking about is the one you mentioned The Returned series is based off of; The 2004 film, They Came Back....I have no idea if it is connected with the series, character wise. | |

Kind of, yes. Its not spooky and scary like Scooby Doo used to be or anything like that, its more eerie than scary. | |

| Yes I did. It was okay--not exactly a bad watch, but more of a slow and dull one. The premise is intriguing, but felt under developed. The plot kinda felt like it was wandering and the ending was suddenly rushed, the result a let down and just confusing...so the time spent watching this movie, probably not worth it.
I have also checked out The Returned, and instantly found that it has far more attraction and appeal than that movie. The sense of mystery and eerie/creepiness that this show has, makes it quite good, along with interesting characters and not to mention, great background music. I've watched a few now and am really enjoying the story as it unfolds.
And it's not exactly the same, but the premise is similar to an American show I've been watching; Resurection. Although, I'm finding The Returned to be overall better. | |
