Show of the week: The Returned
Halloween night will welcome this French import about a village where the dead start showing up at the doorsteps of those they loved.
Shows about the undead refuse to die. And why should they, when series like The Walking Dead draw the eyes of so many living cable subscribers? Halloween night will welcome this stylish miniseries, a French import about an idyllic town where the dead start showing up at the doorsteps of those they loved. These zombies aren’t brainless brain-eaters: They’re French, after all, which means they have existential issues with being undead. But if anything, the cerebral intrigue ramps up the scary. Even zombie cynics could get hooked. Begins Thursday, Oct. 31, at 9 p.m., Sundance
