There is a French TV series on Sundance Channel right now called "The Returned." It is about people who return from the dead, but they are not zombies (in the decaying, want to eat the living, sense of the word...). I watched the first episode and I liked it. The second episode is tonight. The atmosphere is creepy but there was only one gory scene. I understand the Walking Dead is supposed to be a great show, but I only lasted five minutes into the first episode before I had to turn it off!
There is also a book by Jason Mott called The Returned which has a similar premise (the dead come back but they don't act like zombies), but it is NOT the basis of the French tv series. The book is getting its own TV adaptation, to be called "The Resurrected." I haven't read the book myself.
So I don't know if these "normal zombies" signify the end of the trend, or a new wave?
