    Since there is another show already in the US, which borrowed heavily from the French Returned series then this seems to be a waste of timeSince there is another show already in the US, which borrowed heavily from the French Returned series then this seems to be a waste of time and money.

    I hate it when the US does this with shows, they pull the script out, replace the place and actors (many looking the same) and they make it for the US. These shows tend to fail as the scripts are written for another audience and overall they do not translate that well into the US market.

Surprisingly, Camille is played by an adult actress instead of a teenager (just because of the sex scene?). I didn't feel anything watching the 1st episode, while I was amazed by the entire original series. This remake is totally unnecessary. Full Review »

Actors, settings, names (even french ones), and costumes have been duplicated in an attempt to capture the quality of the original series. Although the excellent soundtrack by Mogwai has been replaced with generic crap. Also, the kid is nowhere near as creepy as french Victor. The very least the Americans could have done was try to make this series their own. Instead, this lazy recreation is what we've been handed. Full Review »
