YMMV / Les Revenants

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: The series is far more popular than the original 2004 movie.
  • Awesome Music: The entire soundtrack, by Mogwai.
  • Broken Base: Is this the poorman's Lost or the French Twin Peaks? Are the writers making it up as they go along or do they have precise answers planned out beforehand? Will the second season be a great disappointment or not? Is Victor cute, terrifying or both?
  • The Chris Carter Effect: Depends on which side of the fandom you're asking, but even those who believe the writers to have a planned mythology are cautious about their chances to obtain all the answers they want.
  • Fandom-Enraging Misconception: Calling them "zombies" instead of revenants.
  • Squick: The rot which begins to infect the Revenants' bodies is bad enough to look at... But then Simon proceeds to EAT HIS OWN FLESH, oh, dear God...
  • Values Dissonance: The sex scene int the first episode, between young Léna and Frederic caused some major Squick outside of France, regarding their age. The character is supposed to be 14, but looks much younger. That's why the twins will apparently get age-lifted in the American remake.
