[Alex W](https://www.verisimilitude.today/blog/author/alex-w) Aug 3, 2015 Somewhere along the line this series loses its way. At its heart though what an excellent concept, this idea of people returning. I don't think there have really been many other movies or shows where the dead come back alive. I mean there was [that one film back in the 60's](http://amzn.to/1KKHuFi), but it had, 'Living Dead' in the title, so of course it was gonna be about zombies. The rejuvenating thing about *Les Revenants* is the clash of normalcy and impossibility, "is it dead? is it alive? Should I whack it with my shovel?", and the spectrum suggested in-between. Slowly though you start to realize the writers don't *really* know where to go with it.  | ![](https://www.verisimilitude.today/hubfs/Les_Revenants_Costumes.jpg) | | --- | | The series almost turns into a homoerotic modern day Batman and Catwoman Romance at one point | If you like dams, numerous middle-aged French male actors with varying degrees of baldness, and feeling unsettled check out [*Les Revenants*](http://amzn.to/1IdP47A).  [![](http://www.verisimilitude.today/hubfs/Les_Revenants.jpg)](http://amzn.to/1IdP47A) ### Hark, the Truth! ### Be a Robot Boss Congratulations on making it to the end of the page, now's a good time to re-evaluate your life decisions!
