Holy fucking crap.
...
I know, i know.
Bow down before my masterful articulation.
But honestly.
It would seem my fears of an english-speaking adaptation of this fine-ass piece of television are only mildly distressing.
Initially i thought the ABC series, Resurrection was the the American equivalent of Les Revenants but it's actually based on the bestselling book of the same name by Jason Mott which has a similar yet different enough story to merit a watch.
Though i have yet another feeling it'll be terrible.
Something about the cast.
...
It looks shit, basically.
However! there will be an english-speaking adaptation of Les Revenants at some point but it will be either called They Came Back after the original 2004 movie upon which the tv series is based, or The Returned.
Pretty simple.
Either way, this gives me two more chances to engross myself in the lives of the recently resurrected and their haunted loved ones.
Delightful.
Also on the horizon is Babylon Fields which is yet again about the undead returning but not in the traditional zombie sense.
The pilot for BF was initially passed over back in 2007 but has been given a second chance with the same writers, most likely due to the recent undead craze the planet is going through.
It would seem everybody's jumping on the necromancy bandwagon these days and i'm so on board.
Also, Les Revenants is back for a second season this year.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!
Bring on the zombies.
This is one the finest pieces of television i have ever seen.
Get it watched.
And sob throughout the finale like i did.
...
My eyes hurt.
