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.
