Ever since the walking dead zombies had been overexploited in the entertainment media, and even the mention of them nowadays shuns the public away. I think.
Les Revenant doesn't have zombies, nonetheless, and rather uses a very boring resurrected character as a device to fire up old secrets.
The rhythm of the series feels heavy, slow, and always at the brink of being unbelievable.
It has been said that French cinema was slow, but this is beyond the pale. Like a morbidly fat person who happens to be a rope walker. I'm not a fan of drama, and definitely not a fan of slow plots. It took me a season and a half to pin down what exactly wasn't working.
There are scenes of characters walking in silence that could've been cut out the episode, and in the second season, there's a horrible ellipsis that breaks down whatever was they were trying to build in the first season.
