    This has recently started in the UK and we are about 6 episodes in.

    I watched the original French version last year which was called The Returned. That was excellent. Very creepy with a great score and acting. For anyone thats not seen it the original, its about a small mountain town where people reappear and walk back in to the town who have died. They look exactly the same as before they died, they haven't aged and initially they aren't aware that they have died. It also brings with it many secrets that have been hidden over the years within the community and ultimately the motives of the returned are unknown and how does it all tie in with the reservoir in the town? I thought it was a great show and it left it open at the end for a second series, (which they are making), it was one of the most interesting and addictive shows I'd seen since the fist couple of seasons of Lost.

    So I was pleased to see that the US have remade the show and its called Resurrection. I've watched the first 2 episodes and of course the core issues of the series are the same. How do the families of the loved ones react to their previously dead relatives coming back? How do the returned deal with the fact they died? What secrets has their return unearthed?

    There looks to be some things that have been omitted from the American version, for instance in the original the returned could not sleep. But overall I would say that I'm hooked on the US version too. Well worth checking out if you get chance.

    about

    The people of Arcadia, Missouri are forever changed when their deceased loved ones suddenly start to reappear. An 8-year-old American boy, Jacob (Landon Gimenez), wakes up alone in a rice paddy in a rural Chinese province with no idea how he got there. Details start to emerge when the boy, who calls himself Jacob, recalls that his hometown is Arcadia, and an Immigration agent, J. Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps), takes him there. The home he claims as his own is occupied by a 60-year-old couple, Henry (Kurtwood Smith) and Lucille Langston (Frances Fisher), who lost their son, Jacob, more than 30 years ago.

    While they look different, young Jacob recognizes them as his parents. Lucille is overjoyed at the seeming miracle of her son's reappearance. Henry is reluctant to accept that Jacob is back. Those closest to the family want answers, including Sheriff Fred Langston (Matt Craven), whose wife Barbara drowned 30 years ago while trying to save Jacob, and Fred's daughter, Maggie (Devin Kelley), a local doctor. Pastor Tom Hale (Mark Hildreth) seeks a spiritual reason for what's happening in his community. When things take an even more shocking turn, Maggie's life-long friend, Elaine Richards (Samaire Armstrong), finds herself drawn into Arcadia's growing mystery.

    Season 1: Immigration agent J. Martin Bellamy, an outsider to the town of Arcadia, joins forces with Maggie Langston to figure out why the unexplainable is happening in Arcadia. As their investigation plays out, Maggie learns some unsettling truths about her own past. Will they be able to solve the mystery of Arcadia before the rest of the world catches on to events there? And will they be able to protect Jacob from forces beyond their control? Evidence suggests that Marty may not be such an outsider to the mysteries of Arcadia after all.

    Resurrection was developed by Aaron Zelman (Damages, The Killing), who is executive producer. Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters and JoAnn Alfano are executive producers. Dan Attias is director and executive producer. Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner are executive producers for Plan B and Jon Liebman is executive producer for Brillstein Entertainment. The pilot was directed by Charles McDougall. Resurrection is produced by ABC Studios.
