Resurrection - Die unheimliche Wiederkehr

I didn't know what to make of this show when I watched the first couple of episodes. I loved the very first episode but each episode after has been on a slightly lower level. While there is still drama and mystery it feels like it is going in a different direction. I personally still really like the show but I have a feeling that you will either love it or hate it.

To be honest the reason why I initially watched this show was because of Kurtwood Smith. I've missed seeing him in things since That 70's Show finished up but it is good to see him making great television again. In fact the whole cast is extremely talented and a big plus.

If your interest was piqued when you first saw the promotional clip then my advice would be to give it a go. The first season is short enough for you to take the plunge.

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!

Interesting premise at the beginning. A young boy wakes up in rural China 32 years after he died in the US. Everyone wants to know why. But I want to know how. I'm half way through season 2 and not a single theory has surfaced yet. Was it aliens? Secret government experiments? A result of evolution, global warming, or chlorine in the water? Or could it be a twisted version of the fulfillment of biblical prophecy when the dead are raised ushering in the apocalypse? Why are none of the characters in this series curious enough to get the bottom of what could become an unmanageable crisis or the greatest discovery in human history?

In Arcadia, Missouri, Henry (Kurtwood Smith) and Lucille Langston (Frances Fisher) are shocked when their boy Jacob returns to them 32 years ago after his death. Immigration agent Bellamy (Omar Epps) brings him back to town from China. Sheriff Fred Langston (Matt Craven) and his daughter Dr. Maggie Langston (Devin Kelley) try to solve the mystery. Jacob's childhood friend Pastor Tom is trying to come to terms. Then more and more people return.

This starts with an interesting premise. Instead of digging into how they are returning, the show spreads out into everything except that. There's a widespread conspiracy of silence that keeps the general public in the dark. The great concept and tension slowly drains away over the two seasons. The relationships are fine. The acting is good. I just kept waiting for the show to move forward in the central issue.

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 !
