Very Cool!!!

Just perfect...

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I binge watched this in about three days recently while on a small MEW kick. I can't understand why nobody watched this show, I thought it was great. The characters were great and well acted, the story was great, it had great pacing and kept you wondering. I knew going in that there was a cliffhanger ending and no season 2. I feel bad for the people who were watching when it was actually on, and didn't know it would be left without anything close to an ending to the story. I see the usual jabs taken at Americans in the negative reviews. I guess that's the cool thing to do these days. Bash Americans and act superior for liking the original more. I am American and have no problem watching foreign movies and shows, but a lot of people don't like subtitles and if a show isn't on their normal networks, they usually don't seek it out. If people didn't watch this one enough to keep making it, do you really think the French version would have drawn in more viewers? I doubt it. It's all about viewers and viewers = money. I liked the story, so I WILL seek out the French version. People shouldn't be so mad about the US version, I am sure it did nothing but bring more viewers to the original series. So, go easy on it.

Great Series!...I Very rarely write or review anything but lets say it how it is with regard to The Returned and it's quite simple. Firstly, you really do not need to be a professional reviewer or an intellectual to know what you do or do not like when it comes to a TV series. In this instance I downloaded this series and watched each episode over a period of 3 evenings. Usually any viewer would know by the end of either the first or second episode whether they are hooked by the series or end up watching each episode under duress. In my case I was hooked by whole series and by the well rounded performances of the actors and the clever plots and subplots. Sadly, it wasn't until I reached episode 8 and wondered where the series was going that I found out that there was no plans for a second series. It's a major shame and criminal that there are Television companies out there that are legally allowed to dangle Television series in front of its viewers and then deprive them of a follow up series or, at least, a well rounded finale to the whole series. The French counterpart to this series, Les Revenants, at least had the decency to film a second series. Putting the Television viewer first, before its ratings! Shame on you A&E Studios!

I thought 'Slow Burn' was over as a genre, or a joke or troll or whatever show runners did when they didn't have writers or a script. Shows like 'The Killing' blazed a trail of boredom, dullness and inaction. But it was like a shooting star, a blank, void, do nothing black hole of suck we hoped would burn out and die. But 'The Returned', like the back from the deadzoids it protrays Slow Burn is back from the Pet Seminary of bad ideas. There is nothing that happens in this show beyond the premise. You wait and you wait and you wait and....nothing. But it's not as irritating as those earlier shows because all the pretty people don't talk or say much of anything least of all stupid nonsense. Embrace the void.

I didn't know that this was a remake of the french original. so it didn't bother me, it was the original show to me, and it was really interesting. I'm just sorry that it ends suddenly after 10 episodes and they've canceled the season 2 so we'll never know what happened.such a pityI can't believe they'll just leave it like this. if they followed the same plot as the french one maybe I would have tried to switch to the original in french, but as they differ I can't and I don't want to watch the french version with different characters etc now that I have watched 10 episodes of this show...
