The Returned - French TV supernatural drama (Ch4)

Anyone see the first episode of this tonight on Ch4?
It's a Canal+ production and is, of course, in French (with English subtitles). It's a modern supernatural 8-parter - made in a cool, understated style - classy, but still very chilly and spookily disturbing. The perfect European antidote to all those endless US 'supernatural' TV series. The French know how to make something genuinely eerie; the sort of thing that gets right under your skin.
The Returned
Supernatural crime thriller set in a small Alpine village where a group of men, women and children do not yet know that they have been dead for several years...
Next on Channel 4 | Sun 16 Jun, 9PM

Thought the first half was gooseberry fool.
Then it got pretty decent.
Not impressed with it being called a zombie thriller though

Quite enjoyed it actually. The idea of madness, that we create a world when we can't bear to live in our own anymore with the old man was fantastic. Very slow but interested to see where they take it. Being beautifully shot and having a great soundtrack is just the icing on the cake.

It seems to be based on the French film, They Came Back, which was interesting but flawed. Hopefully with more time it can do the premise justice. The Mogwai score was excellent at the very least.

I saw this on DVD in Sainsburys at the weekend. It did mention C4 but didn't remember seeing it on TV. Might check this out on 4OD.
