Watched the first episode and was totally underwhelmed, mostly by the B grade acting and sloppiness of the Show, The Kid wears the same Clothes from beginning to end, from a Rice Paddy in China to Hospital bed in America, weeks later . I'm hoping it improves but i won't hold out much hope .

watched 2nd episode, was def better. Not sure how far this story line can go without going full on bizarre as it is.
I saw the ads for it, sounds interesting, but probably hyped up like usual. I couldn't help but laugh at the bs radio adverts quoting magazines etc, "Beautiful" * offf.
I'm downloading the first two eps, lets see how it goes.

is it based on the returned at all? it looks similar in a way from the ads.
I like it, Maggie is smoking
Just watched the first 3 episodes. Didn't hate it.
Every bloody radio station is playing the promo to this show.

Breaking Bad started off a bit 'meh' as well
Lets see how this goes. I felt sorry for the parents. How heartbreaking.

No it wasn't, it was slow and didn't really pick up until the last episode.
It was slow because it's a new series, same reason why this show seems a bit slow right now.

The way the opening credits start with the river and then transitions into a tree (tree of life?) makes it obvious that its the river is connected to people coming back to life.
I think this show is going to be one of those shows where there was a big, sad, scary event which happened in the town which involves everyone who has come back to life. At the end, everything is resolved and the people brought back to life will crumble and die again, a very sad ending for sure.
The kicker? It will never be revealed as to how they were brought back in the first place.

I'm watching but I will be pissed off it turns out to be about alien abduction or something stupid like that.

Just watched episode 4 and it was bad. Like really bad.
The dialogue was atrocious. The scene where the pastor tells his wife his ex killed herself 12 years ago and has just come back from the dead is priceless.
Her response: 'you know what to do (i.e. she's gotta leave town)... jealously over the undead.
And everyone carries on normal life with these freaks wandring around.
Specially liked how the child protection agent is now the sheriff's off-side. Going along to ban robberies, to apprehend armed zombies.
It's just got really, really bad. So it's must watch viewing for me.

The biggest plot hole for me is the fact that the only Federal investigation into this massive unexplained phenomenon is being conducted by a sole agent from the Dept of Immigrations and Customs. Hardly their jurisdiction I would have thought. And it's not like he's going out of his way to keep it a secret from the rest of the authorities - he had to apply for a Federal Court order to open the tomb.

The Tea Party finally won the Presidency and abolished the public service. Omar didn't receive the memo.

Apparently Resurrection is based on The Returned, and isn't a remake of Les Revenants.
Obscure TV trivia alert: an actress in the pilot of Babylon 5 plays a recurring character in this show: Tamlyn Tomita.

Isn't 'The Returned' just the English title for 'Les Revnants'?

Was Les Revenants from "They Came back", the movie? NOt sure what the movie was based on
