Thank you, Perry...Thanks, Karen, much appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you, Perry - I saw The Returned last year. The early episodes are fantastic, and although the series loses its way a little towards the end it's a very interesting take on the whole dead-coming-back idea. <br /><br />Similarly, BBC3's 'In the Flesh' does great things with the zombie genre - imagining a world where the undead have been treated and medicated and can return, in some ways, to their previous lives. It's more about prejudice and the mentality of the mob than about flesh-eating horrors. Both series are a cut above the ones that simply work on cheap shocks and gore.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17931812271782255562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-22436154161457560102014-06-08T08:55:00.845+01:002014-06-08T08:55:00.845+01:00There's a French TV series, The Returned, I...There's a French TV series, The Returned, I've recently bought but not yet watched about the dead returning to their homes and the problems that causes.
