Aroview: Inspired by the excellent 2004 'zombie' film THEY CAME BACK, this richly storied French series about a township of people affected by the unexplained return of dead loved ones curates haunting atmosphere and haunted characters in equal measure.

For those fascinated by the practical realities of dealing with the 'living dead' that the film explored so compellingly, this series moves disappointingly away from that territory into a more literal fantasy realm, however at its core remains a moving human drama of grief, regret, and love.

Series One: eight episodes across two discs.

Series Two: eight episodes across two discs.
