The Returned (2012)

France, Best Drama Series 2013. In a quiet Alpine town beneath a huge dam, the dead start walking home, not as zombies but as themselves, expecting dinner and their old bedrooms. The Returned is less a horror show than a slow, eerie study of grief, and it is the most beautiful-looking series here. Fabrice Gobert created it from the 2004 film They Came Back, and Mogwai's score does a lot of the haunting. Two seasons of eight episodes each; be warned that the second, which arrived in 2015, answers fewer questions than you might hope.
