My favourite TV series is "The Returned" (the original name is "Les Revenants"), a French supernatural drama TV series created by Fabrice Gobert, based on the film "They came back".
It is set in a small French mountain town and talks about some dead people that reappear, apparently normal and alive. They are Camille, a 15-year-old girl who died in a bus crash four years ago, before reappearing in the present; Simon, a young man who was to marry a girl, Adèle, before his death 10 years ago. Though he was told he committed suicide, he has his doubts, as he has been unable to remember his mental state leading up to his death; "Victor", a boy who reappears and follows Julie, believing her to be the "fairy" his mother spoke of that would look out for him if she were gone. His real name is Louis, and he was killed 35 years ago by one of two intruders who also killed the rest of his family. On the day of Camille's bus accident, the driver swerved to avoid Victor, who was standing in the road. Victor has the ability to make others see visions, including the manner of someone else's death; and then Serge, a serial killer responsible for the murder of several women, whose modus operandi included eating the internal organs of those victims he stabbed. He was killed seven years ago when his brother Toni decided to put an end to any more killing by knocking his brother out and burying him alive.
They try to resume their lives like nothing happend but meanwhile strange phenomenoes happens: 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.
A second season of 8 episodes is in production. The story will continue six months after the flooding, with the town being restored under the control of the authorities. Altough rumors of the dead returning have spread but the authorities don't believe them. Meanwhile, an unknown man called Berg arrives in town to know more about the situation and soon after a new wave of Revenants appear.
