Resurrection

I was constantly on the edge of my seat and eager for the next episode... only flaw to me was the unanswered questions at the end.

Still highly recommend.

I have been excited for this show for the better part of six months since I found out about it. My excitement for it has mostly been because the source material, Jason Mott's The Returned, was one of my favorite books of 2013. While there are certainly coincidences, the show is not an American adaptation of the French show "Les Revenants". It is instead an adaptation of Mott's work.

Although certain relationships and characters have been changed/altered, thus far the show has captured impact of the return of Jacob Langston. Somehow the writers, and even director, have been able to capture the poetic and deeply philosophical nature of Mott's prose. My one complaint of the book was that Mott seemed to through a lot at the reader and everything going on became overwhelming. The pacing of the pilot was the complete opposite. While the teasers leading up to the premiere certainly eluded to more people being "resurrected," the show is not throwing too much at the viewer just yet.

In the book we don't ever really receive an explanation as to why these people return, but I am looking forward to how the show expands upon the mystery.

This is by far the Best TV Series i have seen in a long time. The Previews really kept me interested, such an interesting and thought provoking storyline and when I saw the first episode, it definitely did not disappoint. Captivating just like the preview. Great choice of characters and actors. The story line, although taken from existing stores, is still very unique on its own. The mysteries keep you wanting more. the suspense is unbearable. The way the story is told, you really cannot tell what is going to happen next, waiting a whole week is just too much!

really can't wait to see where this show is headed!

Great Scifi show. I am keeping this review Spoiler free! Watched Season 1 and 2. the actors did a great Job and so did the writers. Season 1 had alot of suspense and Season 2 Had some religious elements to the storyline. Overall great show. Yes it got cancelled After season 2 but felt like there was some closure at end of season 2 while at the same time it gave us a glimpe into where season 3 storyline was going to go if there ever was going to be a season 3. I watched the series on a marathon and the show was interesting enough that i didn't skip any episodes. there was couple weaker episodes on season 2 but it still kept my interest. I read other reviewers who complain about the plot holes. Yes there are a few plot holes mostly revolving around how the towns people reacted towards the "resurrected" and their new situation but it's a SCI FI show! it's not supposed to be true to real life.

To be honest I wasn't optimistic at all. Les Revenants was a brilliant and unique creation, award winner for International Grammy. I couldn't see any way how they could re-enact that brilliance. But after watching this 1st episode, I must admit this one isn't bad at all ! They expanded the boundary, brought their own twists and made it something new. Whether u have watched the original or not, that won't affect at all! Les Revenats had an Godly location, this one might not have that. But they tried with some new characters and aspects to make up for it. While you are at it, you better enjoy the ride ! Its gonna be shocking and bumpy !
