Hi everyone,

I would like to share this little gem thats just been aired in the US, The Returned. It has the potential to be a brilliant series - only time will tell.
The first episode is a nice introduction into lives of a small town of ordinary townsfolk that has suffered the loss of many local people in an accident, some years later the people that were lost in the accident are coming home - unaware of what happened and they enter back into the lives of their previous friends/partners/family members.
Its shaping up to be a good watch.

Regards
Scotty

Higher production value in this new one compared to Resurrection, better cast too. It's just a bit weird and off-putting having two separate remakes running side by side.
 
I really quite enjoyed Les Revenants, although it did seem to suffer from 'Lost syndrome' in that it felt like the plot was being made up as they went along towards the end of the series. Still cautiously anticipating series 2, if just for another Mogwai soundtrack.

Not sure I can muster much interest for a US version however.
 
Can't say I really liked it much,
never read the books or any of the other versions though maybe it's better if you have.

Just seemed much strangeness and I'm not into lost type shows that just never give a conclusion

I agree absolutely... though in retrospect, how was it ever going to end up any other way? Folk returning like that was always going to end up treading in some very unsatisfying territory.

There's apparently a culture of such 'ghost' stories in France, and perhaps that makes it easier for them to suspend their disbelief. By the end of the series I was definitely struggling, even though there were some decent elements.

I never did make it to the end of Lost.
Once the time travel started, my interest started to leak away.
 
Will give it a go but yeah think I already seen 1-2 shows where something happen and they came back from the dead....

I forget due to the fact it was boring :)
 
Yup watched first ep....

fell asleep upright, is the world so desperate to make so many shows about dead people dieing and coming back to life at least with walking dead it got is spot on.
