    its not often I watch a show back to back, but 1 watched this over 2 nights. The cinematography, the creepy Twin peaks-esq locations, and cooky characters and mild horror moments, had me hooked. Hope Season 2 gets made!

    Me ,my husband and a bunch of friends who came over watched The returned for the first time and we LOVE it. That creepy little kid (victor) makes us wonder for each episodes that will come. We can't wait for the next one. Also love the fact that every dead has their own story. love love love.

    Not as good as the original, but still a very good tv show. I will never understand one thing: If it deviates from the original show, it's 'BAD'. If it stays true to the show, it's a 'BAD COPY'. I believe the show created its own vibe, a lot less dense than the original, but still, stayed very respectful to its predecessor. French show: Brilliant and fantastic. American REMAKE: Very good show!

    I saw French series! No difference! This remake is identical! I don't understand why they do it! The content is excellent but who saw Original version doesn't need to see American remake. Actuation is excellent!

    Is not bad remake of the French version. Not even sure why people think is the same as Resurrection, because is entirely different, Resurrection is not a remake from Les Revenants. Not a valuable critique if you just consider the first episode alone, as the show keeps going the life in the town and its people becomes interesting. Every TV show, slowly grows on you.

    The U.S. version of the returned is amazing. One of the best new series in a long time and someone needs to make season 2!!!! If it wasn't for netflix I wouldn't have known about it....PLEASE MAKE SEASON 2 AMERICAN!!!! I prefer American shows much more since that's where I live.

    Why do they always cancel the good yet keep the crap?!? ...borgias...true blood....good!!! And gone. Yet that terrible bore 'bates motel' has been renewed??? Wtf? I am both heartbroken and outraged about this show...it was mysterious, thought-provoking, characters were complex. It left me wanting more just when the season ended...dammit a and e. Dammit!

    What Cuse and Tucker have done best is maintain the eerie tone and feel from the original.

    It's almost a shot-for-shot remake of the original, but that's not what makes this version a derivative TV zombie. It's the lack of atmosphere and the near-complete absence of a mournful, mysterious tone that makes the new version feel empty and hollow.

    [A] vastly inferior product, which lacks spark and purpose.
