Glitch is a 6 episode Australian made supernatural thriller that first aired on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) in 2015, and in late 2016 was picked up by Netflix internationally. Netflix will co-produce the second season, which is due to air sometime in 2017.
Glitch is set in a fictional small Aussie town called Yoorana, and is mostly told from the point of view of the local police officer James Hayes. He is called out to the local cemetery late one night, after six naked and disoriented, but otherwise unharmed, people are found wandering after they have risen from the graves. They aren't zombies, but returned to life pretty much the same as they left it. The series explores their histories and possible connections they might have to each other and the town (even though they died many years apart), and as they all try to piece together their forgotten pasts. Hayes tries to keep their existence a secret, for a number of reasons, not least because of a close connection he has to one of the risen.
One of the risen is Charlie Thompson (Sean Keenan), a gentle young man who struggles to piece together his memories of his previous life as a WWI soldier. I won't give too much away, because watching Charlie piece together his past is an important part of his story on the show.

Here's a trailer:
The show is a little frustrating at times in that there are many unresolved mysteries, but hopefully they will be tied up in season 2. It has a really interesting look and feel, and watching the characters piece together their pasts makes for a range of interesting stories told in flashbacks. I haven't been able to find it posted on youtube, but it is available on Netflix.
