The Returned... Zombies or Not?

Humans are misinformed. Somehow they think that all zombies are created (created?) the same. They are so wrong. Zombies come in different forms being the ones with rotten flesh and eating brains the most popular.

Now... there are many other kinds, like The Returned, who happens to be people's deceased family... but they just wanted to come back and hang around the living. They don't crave for brains nor they can sleep. Nevertheless they WERE dead but NOW they are pretty much "alive" and sharing beer with their loved ones. That falls into the Zombie category.

Personally I like The Returned. They are a remarkable branch of the zombie species.
